Longevity Candidates

By Uncle Joe

On the afternoon of Uer. ti, your corrcspondctitinterviewed at the Sacred Heart llomc the following persons:

Mary ‘Feresa Reid. 9T; Angus 1). hlitc-Klnnou. 94: Miss Catherine Mc- Cormack. 101; Miss Elizabeth 1\l_c~ Glnnis. 104.

Mrs. Reid. formerly Miss Mary Teresa Leonard. was born at Corn- wall 1n the year 1841. a sister of tlu- late William Leonard of Corn- wall. They had no family. llcs- piic hcr advanced age Mrs. Reid is still hale and hearty and in pos- session of all her faculties.

When asked to \vhat she attri- buted her long life shr- replied in- stantly: "To good health. \iVh_v. I never had a serious illness in my lifr. The M.D.'s and i just never happened to get together. some- how."

This fine old lady would easily pass for seventy. Incidentally, our families knciv each other in days o.’ yore ivhieh made the interview more interesting.

MR. ANGUS MaelUNNON

Then we went to see Angus l). MacKinnon. Mr. hlat-Kinnun is 94. and was born at Si. Peters. the .home village of Dr. R. J. lvlacDoii- ‘aid who is still going strong des- lpite 90 years of living. These two, ‘I learned. are fast friends.

Angus lilacKinnon is a son of l-lohn MacKinnnti and Catherine ‘Morrison. ‘flicit- fatnily consisted of ll children, all of whom have pass- ed away, except the subject of this sketch.

One sister. Sarah, attained the age of 9T year.. When a yotmt! fellcr Mr. lvlzicblintion went to ‘Fexas whcre he worked for a time with the railroad. From Texas he wandered tp B. C; when the Klon- dike gold rush was on he headed for the Yukon. After the gold rush llf. meted to White llnrsc ivhere he lived for 8 years before returning to his native province.

Mr. MacKinnon is a rugged old pine, with a colorful past. Outside of being a little hard of hearing this fine old timer is as spry as

many men twenty years younger. Mr. hlacKinnon never married.

My next call was on Miss Cath- crinc McCormat-k. 101. 'l'liis grand old lady was born at McCasltull River and came to the Home about seven years ago. About this time Miss Mi-Cormack had the misfor- tune to fall and break her hip. She has been confined to her bed ever since. and is not in very good health at the present time.

MISS ELIZABETH MeC-INNIS

How does it feel to be 104E‘ That's the question f put to our oldest longevity candidate when I inter- viewed her at the Home.

“It's a bit too old." replied this remarkable lady. "Why. if I live un- til the 13th of next February l‘ll br- 105 years Of age. I'm the only living member of my family. and when you outlive all your relatives and former friends life can be rather lonely at times."

Miss lVh-Ginnes was born at Tra- cadie in i844. the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mathias liii-Ginnis. Their family consisted 0t‘ ten children. five girls and five boys. She came to the Home jusﬁa little over one year zigo.

When the genial sister icri me to her roam. l found Miss lllcGinnis sitting bcside hcr bed. clad in a bathrobc, her silvcred hair neatly combed anti just the trace of a smile lingering across a face that in earlier years must have been beautiful, to s. the least.

- o -

When l told her I was a report- er and called to get a spot of news for my longevity column, she bade me be seated and then said. “=i reporter. ch? Well. I'll do my best to answer any questions: but w hen you have lived more than one hundred years your memory is not so good as it used to be."

"Please tell me something about your youth". l queried. “Just how far back can you recall?"

"I can remember." ‘she replied.

"You're ar- young as you feel.“ says M". Rim Mcndels. Montreal. who soon will be 108. With her, from left. back ron. are: Mrs. A. Sinikln. [rand dautthlfl’; Mrs. MTS- \1. 'l‘i~mkiii, Los Angr-ies, ilziughter; in from, Florence and Madeline, grcnl-gretlt-gr" " ‘ w.

"when 1 was a small child oi‘ four or five years. and played at Tra- cadie sands. along with two young- er sisters and our neighbor's chil- dren who were about my own age.

"When I was ten years old I can recall coming to the City. or rather the Town. for in those days most all of the present City was a wilderness."

"You had none of the conveni- ences then which we enjoy today. had you?"

For a moment she paused. looked ms- full in the face. with eyes that still showed some of their former brightness.

"Conveniences! Why Mr. w didn't even know what the \vor meant. Log cabins and a few plots of cleared land was all you cottld see anywhere in the Island."

The passing of ovcr a century has indeed brought many changes tn the people of the Garden of the Gulf as it has to peoples of other lands.

1i’ we were to go back only ti hundred years with Miss McGinnis we would scarcely know how to live. There would be no ‘phones: even mail delivery was slow and uncertain. There would be no elec- tric lights, no steamboats, no planes. no trains. The buggy was the very latest and most. up-to-date equip- merit for rapid transportation. And those early settlers lighted their humble homes by old tallow candle.

Said Miss McGinnis, “We didn't

need much light in those days be- cntise folks went to bed with the

"But lacking all modern conveni- ences you were n pretty rugged race," l prompted. "And a healthy lot too." she added with a smile.

FUNERAL YESTERDAY — The funeral of Matthew J. Redmond was held yesterday morning from the A. A. Henuesmv Futi- eral Home to St. Anne's Chursh, Hope River where Requiem l-lxglt Mass was celebrated by the pas- r01‘. Rev. Earl Dalton. who also officiated at. the grave. The pail- bearers were: Clemont. Trainos, Emmett 'I‘i'ainor. Loui< Walsh. John Doyle. Austin Boiger and Harold Harrington. Interment. took place in the Church Ceme- tery.

"Why who ever bothered their heads about microbes or sanltarv plumbing when l was a youngster? Nobody. We just. lct sick things alone and kept right on living. Oitr clothes wouldn't, win any prizes either. Until my eighteenth year 1' always dressed in clothes made of homespun and wore moccasins on my feet."

When the Caledonia Club was first organized ln Charlottetown. Miss McGinnis had the honour of dancing the sword dance before an appreciative audience. The number was so ivcii received that Miss Mc- Ginnls became the popular dancing belle of that. period, going about from town to town. "Of course. that's all past. history." said this slender and straight lady of ai- most 105 years. Today I have oth- er ambitions . .

“You have!" 1 interrupted. "What are they?"

"I'd like to have a ride in an airplane for one, and secondly, I'd like to see the place where l was born once more before I die.”

When the interview ended we shook hands, and. as l started down the corridor leading to the exit, l felt. well repaid for the short time middle age anti old age had had the. advantage of coming together, if only for a brief chat.

All! thought l. what a treasure- house of‘ memories!
