ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The preparation of this work has involved the assistance of many individuals and organizations and the authors are indebted to them all for their help. The references contained in this book indicate the source of all the information, but where mistakes have crept in, the authors take full responsibility for misinterpreting that which was so willing provided.

Staff of the following organizations were of particular help, the Public Archives of Prince Edward Island P.A.P.E.l.(in particular Marilyn Bell and Harry Holman), the Robertson Library of the University of Prince Edward Island and the RBI. Land Registry Office.

Many individuals who are or have been residents of Bonshaw or the area have shared their recollections and kindly allowed photographs to be copied. We are particularly indebted to Carol McDonald who was usually able to find someone who could answer the current question or had a photograph, if she didn't herself. Cecil and Marion McPhail who spent time in the attic locating details on Dougal Bell's store, Peter Hicks for locating the minute book of the Dairying Company, and David and Marjory Gibson for the shipping invoices of the ’Hazel Ruth’.

William (Bill) McEwen of New Dominion deserves particular thanks for recording the

Bonshaw notations in the newspapers that he was searching in his own research on New Dominion.

Norman G. Glen worked through a number of drafts and helped correct our punctuation and problems with tense.

To everyone else who assisted us with information, photographs etc. we sincerely appreciated your help.

THANK YOU ALL!
