A History of Canoe Cove everything as neat as a pin. Neil married Margaret Anne MacRae, daughter of Finlay, and they had four children, as follows: Laura married Alexander MacFadyen of Rice Point, and they later went to Detroit, Michigan . Annie, a school teacher, also later went to Detroit. Dannie married Katie Belle Campbell and farmed in the Cove, also spent some time in Detroit. They had two sons, Morris and Jerrold . Morris enlisted in the Navy during World War II, then married Lillian whose mother was a Cameron from Clyde River and her father a Wood from Alexandra. Morris was by then working in Michigan . Morris and Lil come home every summer for a visit to their kith and kin. Jerrold , an electrical inspector, lives with his wife, Dorothy, whom he met and married when he was working in Newfoundland . Half of Dannie's farm was sold to Duncan MacCannell and the other half later to Alex Darrach. Mrs Christiansen and her daughtter now own the house Nelson, Neil's other son married Elsie MacEachern, sold the farm to Laughlin MacKinnon and moved out West. Laughlin's son Willard owned the house, then his son Allen. On Allen's tragic death it was sold to Vincent Doiron and his wife Anne and they have made a superb job of restoring house and grounds to its former beauty. THE MACNEILLS. As previously noted Alexander MacNeill lived in the beautiful house on the Corner. His sons John A. and Alex were prominent doctors in Summerside . Another son Norman was a Baptist minister. Dr. John practised anesthesiology at the Prince County Hospital until the mid nineteen forties and often talked to me about his days in Canoe Cove . According to the 1880 Atlas a John MacNeill owned 75 acres at the New Argyle end of the property, so 't must have been at least 200 acres at one time.
