Mr. Matthews taught school for four years, then decided to work towards a degree in law. He entered the law office of Messrs. MacQuarrie and Arsenault in Summerside and was admitted to the bar in May 1909. The same year he opened a law office in O'Leary , first above A.J. Matheson 's drugstore, later in a building on the pre¬ sent site of the Credit Union. When this building burned, he moved his office into his own home. In 1913 he met and married Emma Carruthers , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Carruthers , Howlan . They had five sons - Weldon, practising law in Halifax, Nova Scotia ; Lloyd, a retired post¬ master living in the old homestead; Fred and Gerald in Summerside ; and Elmer in Kingston , Nova Scotia . All five sons served their coun¬ try overseas during the Second World War; all returned home safely - an extraordinary family contribution! In 1931 Mr. Matthews was appointed a judge. Four years later he resigned that position to devote the remainder of his working years to practising law. George Matthews was a highly respected citizen who helped many people in need and contributed much to his community. Mr. Matthews died in 1951; his widow lived to become one of O'Leary 's oldest residents. She was a resident of in Alberton where she died in Novemberl990, at the age of 102 years. DR. A.S.
