There were a number of lnltln- tions and scarlet degrees held and although it is regretable that some of the active members have mov- ed away for a time it is pleasing to note, they are always able to keep in close contact with the lodge. Among those recently visit- ing at some of our meetings were Mrs. Catherine MacDougaii of Moncton and Mrs. Julia Hall now residing in ylalifax.

The juvenile branch of Memorial is very capably looked after by the Guardians, R, W, Mrs. Lilia French and M. W.

Island Loses ‘Two Veteran Residents

(By IEI-I. MacArthur)

T119 61051113 days of the Old Year claimed the lives of two veteran Prince Edward Islanders, Edward C1°h°559Y 0f Skinner's Pond and Donald Macliinnon, o: North River.

Mr. Oioliossey wla pom .t Skinner's Pond 93 years ago, the son of Irish emigrants, Patrick Clohossey and Johanna, Foley of Kiidaro. Ireland.

In 1882. Edward Ciohossey m". ried Ellen Doyle. They had five children, namely: Ellen, who died 111 111111116)’. JOSEI-ih. now living at Oxford Me., and superintendent of the Oxford Paper Co. at R/iunford, .\ie.; James, a veteran of the first war and now employed with the Vancouver WfltOI‘ Commission, There is Anna oi’ Lowell. Mass, and the younger daughter, Stella, Sis- ter Mary Edward of Fall River, Mass.

Mr. Ciohosseys second wife. Mary Callaghan of Ebbsfleet, died Feb. l6. 1917, laying nine children, all deceased except William, who lives at Nail Pond. and Alfred and Bertram who reside on the old homestead.

The late Mr. Clohossey was s real pioneer of his district, and could remember when the place of his birth was a wilderness with only a few scattered settlers.

Besides the above mentioned children, the late Edward Clohos- sey is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Michael Ready and Mrs. Elliza- beth Arsenault of Tignish.

North River's colorful old tim- er, 92-year-old Donald MacKinnop was born at West Royalty, and came from a long-lived family tree.

When Mr. MacKinnon moved to his farm at North River, he mar- rlcd the sweetheart of his youth Miss Maud Williams, The two daughters born of this union, Pearl and Stella, together with his ‘widow, arc left to mourn the loss of a i0vilig husband and father.

In the spring of i899, Mr. Mac- Kinnon together with two com- panions. (both Islanders). wok a herd 0f cattle to the hungry in- liihitaiiis of DBWSOII City, the first and only expedition of the kind ever to reach the Land of Promise and Broken Dreams.

The herd, which consisted of about 60 steers. was picked up near the foothills of Alberta, and the hardships cndurcd by the three lsialidcra, iii getting the livestock to the Ciiv of Gold, is a. thrilling story of adventure that has feiv equals in Canadian history.

But reach their destination they (lid after nialiy months of heart- breaking expcricnccs. The last leg of tiillt ncvcr-to-be-forgotten trek was their passage down the Yuk- on with themselves and the an- imnls aboard rafts that they had built. with their own hands. Poet Rnbcrt Service liud Klondike Kate were both kliCuVll to the late Don- nld MzicKinnoii whose death cc- ciirrcd on December 31st last.
