Beginning near the school, past the Horne property, on opposite sides of the road are two farms, one owned by Harold Prcwse, formerly owned by Edmond Horne, the other by Hammond Rodd on the homestead of his father John Rodd, cal— led Highview Farm. An excellent view can be had from this, one of the highest points on the Island. Continuing up the road We come to the Harry Slackford farm (son of William Slackford, later stationmaster at Summerside). This Slack-

ford farm was once James Holman's property. The William Bryenton homestead is nearby, now the

home of an enterprising dairy farmer - Earl Rodd, set of HammOnd Rodd. In a sheltered valley is the snug home of

Edward Bryanton, formerly property of James Holman. From the top of Breakheart Hill there is an excel-

lent view of the district to the north, with the brook mak- ing its way down through the valley to Roy Cole's mill dam. The splendid preperty owned by the cattle dealer and butcher Fred Turner was formerly owned by Nathaniel Peardcn, a well- known.local preacher of his time. Next is the home of Nel- son Loche, formerly oWned by his father Jae. Locke. Across the road is Earl Diamond, son of the late Thos. Diamond who had been the faithful mail driver for the district for twenty-six years. His son carried on after him.

Below well kept buildings, the brook flows through the fare property of Harry Coles. The former home of Harry Coles. The former home of John Diamond, one time Justice of the Peace, is now occupied by Harry Crawford. Such names as Pickard and Boundy, which are plentiful on our church records, are passing from the village ~ their lands enjoyed by Emmer— son.Ford and others.

The pastor Rev. Thos. Constable replaces one of the greatest ministers of our day - Rev. J. R. Skinner who went to Cornwall. The church which is one of the few brick churches on the Island has a history of its own. At the time of building a 1880 ~ the farmers of the community with horses and sleighs started for Rocky Point for the bricks. Meeting in Charlottetown at an early hour, the startled popu» lation thought an invasion was underway, and police were called out.
