"In civil life the late Colonel Ir- vng studied law and is known to the elder brethren and generation of this province as having been Clerk ofthe Crovin, which post. he filled efficiently and well. At the same time. the Colonel was inter- ested fn agriculture. having lived for several years at Westwcod. on the North River, as well as at Rav- enwood, which latter land he had leased from the writer's grandfath- er for a term of years. Ravenwcod is now the site of the Dominon Ex- perimental Farm at Charlottetown.
