remained during the period noted. Dr. Hen- derson has a splendid little place of twelve acres, most of which is set out to fruit trees, comprising standard varieties, and has the place otherwise well improved. He has been notably successful in his professional prac- tice from the beginning and enjoys the abso- lute confidence of the general public.

He was married in 1879 to Annie L. Gregor, daughter of the late Peter Gregor, Esq., of Charlottetown; and a sister of Dr. Leigh R. Gregor, professor of German and German literature in McGill College, Mon- treal. They have a family of five children.

WILLIAM ANDREW, a successful farmer in Lot 17, Prince county, was born at North St. Eleanor’s, this county, on June 10, 1848, and is a son of Charles and Mary (Wood) Andrew, natives of Cornwall, England, the former having been born on May I, 1821, the latter dying in 1892. The paternal great- grandfather, William Andrew, who was a native of North Cornwall, England, was en- gaged in farming and his son, William An- drew, the subject’s paternal grandfather, also

followed the same vocation at North Corn-~

wall. Charles Andrew, father of the sub- ject, came to Prince Edward Island in 1842 and located at North St. Eleanor’s on the property on which he now resides, on which he has since been successfully engaged in ag- ricultural pursuits. The place is one of the choice farms of the locality and here Mr. Andrew is enjoying life to its utmost. At the age of eighty-five years, he is a fine specimen of strong, rugged manhood, being in the enjoyment of excellent health aside from slight rheumatic troubles. He has be— come the father of nine children, six sons

and three daughters, of whom the subject of this sketch is the fourth in order of birth. The latter passed his school days in St. Eleanor’s, continuing his studies until his six- teenth year, when he engaged in clerking in a store at St. Eleanor’s, in which he remained two years. He then returned to the home- stead, where he remained until attaining his majority, at which time his father purchased the Hope farm and located on it. About this time the subject of this sketch married and bought the Alfred Compton farm and a por- tion of the Schurman property, thus coming into possession of two hundred acres of as good farming land as can be found in this 10- cality. He entered at once upon the active cultivation of these tracts and during the fol- lowing years carried on a diversified system of farming in which he has been distinctively successful. During recent years he has done an extensive business in the raising and fat- tening of hogs, which he has found a profit- able line of enterprise. The place is well improved with a neat and well arranged resi- dence, substantial and commodious barns and other farm outbuildings, and is considered one of the most productive homesteads in Lot 17. Mr. Andrew and his son operate the properties jointly. Mr. Andrew married Miss Harriet W. Compton, of St. Eleanor’s, a daughter of Harry Compton, and a niece of Hubert C. Compton, and to this union have been born the following ' children: Alice, a professional nurse in Charlottetown; Al- bert Ed, a clergyman of the Episcopal church and located at Antigonish, Nova Scotia; Delores, engaged in clerking at Summerside; Horace, who owns the Ben- jamin Schurman farm of one hundred acres at St. Eleanor’s; Isabel, a trained nurse; Fanny, Mabel, Sadie and Harry. In religion Mr. Andrew is a member of the
