D.L ., as everyone called him, was an enterprising man; he and his wife were fine citizens, and consistent members of the Presbyterian Church. They were a couple Who were much dvoted to each other. Mr. MacKinnon passed away suddenly in his home, Wednesday, March 15, 1933. Mrs. MacKinnon passed away on the same day of the week, Wed¬ nesday, January 12, 1949. They walked with their Lord "here". They will be blessed by their Lord 'there". ^c~~ This is a big and busy world that we are living in, and as we scan the pages of history, we find tfhat the little province of has given a good many of her sons and daughters who have made a worthy contribution to mankind. You can find their names recorded in M. A. MacQueen 's book "Skye and Pioneers", and in MacKinnon and Warburton's book, " Past and Present," and other books. You will find their names in all the professions and callings, ministers, doctors, lawyers, statesmen, writers and teachers. Montague has not failed on this score, and we are pleased to be able to make that statement. The prospects that a larger number will make their contribution in the future are good and bright. This little town has many times been called, Montague the "beau¬ tiful," and that is a splendid distinction. Let us ever try to make it more beautiful in all its aspects, spiritual, moral, social and physical. If we keep that in mind, and act upon it, we will have no cause for regret. It is something in which everyone of us can taek a hand in, and help; and everyone will feel the better of it. Let us say that with pronounced conviction There's room for you within our walls, W'll make this town a beauty place With a halo on its face; W'll keep it neat and clean, And a place for any Queen. Come! W'll do our very best, To give you quiet and rest. We want to do you every good. And give you the best of food. Come one and all from near and far, On foot, by train or car. There's room for you within our walls, And the Voice of Welcome calls. WD.J. We want to see our town expand, and we trust that our businessmen will make every effort to accomplish this. There is considerable land available yet for building purposes. A garbage disposal system is greatly needed. A suitable incinerator might be the answer to that question. The time is coming when a more adequate sewerage system will be required. Team work is a good thing. By hearty cooperation much can be ac¬ complished. Montague will be just what its people make it. Friends of Montague, old and new, your humble servant has made a feeble effort to set forth the story of this town from its infancy to the present time. I have endeavoured to refrain from giving offense to any¬ one, and if I have made mistakes; and if there are omissions; and I feel myself that they are numerous, I plead your forgiveness. I want to express my sincere appreciation to all who in any way have helped me in the preparation of this story, and I trust that those who may read it will get as much pleasure out of it as I did in writing it. —49-
