• Notes

  Harold McIver was born in Kinkora (1910), the youngest son of Theodore McIver and Adella Johnston. In 1941 he married Kathleen Ready daughter of Annie Mullin and James Ready from Kensington. After they were married they settled in Summerside, where Kathleen taught school for many years in the public school system. During Harold’s life he was a car salesman for Corney Brothers Auto dealer and later entered the insurance business as a local representative for the Imperial Life Assurance Company. He was highly regarded by all who knew him for his honesty and integrity in all business transactions. Harold also had a very strong interest in organized sports and did much to foster baseball and hockey in Summerside. He was president of the Crystal Hockey club for several years and a member of the Knights of Columbus as well as the Kinsmen’s Club. At the time of Harold’s death, Kathleen was in Montreal having eye surgery and Harold was spending the night with his brother Charlie in Summerside. According to the Charlottetown paper, “sometime before 5A.M. Lillian (Charlie’s wife) woke to the loud wailing of the fire siren and clanging of fire bell. While going to the window to see if she could locate any sign of fire, she looked into the room occupied by Harold to see if he had been awaken by the alarm and noticed his arm was hanging limp from the bed. Further investigating she was shocked to find him apparently dead, with the arrival of the doctor she soon found it to be all too true. He had passed through the night due to a heart attack”. Harold was only in his 39th year and had been married just 9 years. After Harold’s death, Kathleen remained very close to the McIver family and never remarried. I visited her often as did a lot of the nieces and nephews as they had no children of their own. Kathleen, after a long and busy life passed away recently (2008) in Charlottetown. I will miss my visits. Another interesting note is, Kathleen’s grandmother was Mary McIver (1844-1918) married John Mullin, so she also had a double connection to the McIver family tree.
