A HISTORY OF CANOE COVE

The lovely old MacDonald house and buildings are gone.

THE MACDOUGALLS.

Albert, son of Allan of Nine Mile Creek, bought the farm belonging to Neil (Malcolm) MacKenzie. He married Sadie Livingston of Nine Mile Creek, and they had two children, Lloyd who married Caroline MacKenzie and Irene who married Clifford Moffat. Albert also bought the Black Jack Darrach farm. Sadie died and Albert married Amy, widow of Donald MacPhail of Argyle Shore and they lived in the MacPhail home for years. Later they moved to a mobile home beside Albert’s home, as Irene and Clifford were living in the house by this time. In a sad turn of events Lloyd died in the fall, then the next summer Albert, Amy and Irene died within a short time of each other.

Dugald, son of Colin MacDougall lived on Donald MacKinnon's Lane. He was always called “Red” Dugald to identify him. It always seemed impossible to say just plain Jack Darrach or Dugald MacDougall without preceding the name by the color of hair. It used to be a standing joke that all red hair in following generations came from Red Dugald, but Dugald had no family! He married Catherine Darrach and although they had no family, a home was given to Francis MacDougall, whose father was a cousin and both his parents had died. Some time after Catherine died he married a Mrs. MacDougall from Bangor, P.E.l. Francis sold the farm to Beecher Hickox. after Dugald died, and Beecher sold it to Alex Darrach. There was a link there as Catherine was Alex‘ aunt. Since then various Owners have had parts of the farm. The Presbyterian Camp is on part of it, and a housing development on Part. The house and grounds were well maintained in Dugald‘s day with an attractive fence, but that house and the buildings are long gone and a new house on the site.
