REV. DANIEL B. REID

Reverend Daniel B. Reid was born in 1862, the son of John Reid and Margaret Kent of Hope River. He was ordained by Archbishop Fabre in the church of St. John's near Montreal. Father Reid had studied at St. Dunstan's College and at the Grand ; Seminary of Quebec. Bishop Peter I MacIntyre was in poor health at this time and unable to have the ordination on the Island. This must have been a disappoint— ment to Father Reid's family and friends. Father Reid served as Curate at St.

Rev. Daniel B. Reid Dunstan's Cathedral in Charlottetown in

1890. He was next assigned to Kelly's Cross where he was Parish Priest from 1894—1898. His first responsibility was to construct the new church which had been planned by his predecessor, Father Patrick McElmeel. He was equal to the challenge and in 1898 an elegant wooden church 100 feet by 40 feet with a seating capacity of six hundred was blessed and dedicated by Bishop J .C. MacDonald. He also built a parish house; it was a palatial, towered house designed by the cel- ebrated Island architect, William Critchlow Harris. Because of Father Reid's artistic tastes, we can enjoy this splendid structure which still bedecks the landscape of Kelly's Cross. Due to ill-health, Father Reid had to retire to the more temperate region of North Carolina. He remained there until his death in 1904. Father Reid is buried in his native parish of St. Ann's, Hope River.
