The subject of this sketch attended the public schools in his boyhood and received a good practical education, which, however, did not close with his school days, as he has all his life been a liberal reader and close thinker, and has been a careful observer of men and events, so that today he is consid- ered a man of marked intelligence and wide general information. He was reared to the life of a farmer and has devoted his main attention to this enterprise, with fair suc- cess. His place is well located and is main- tained at a high standard of improvement, careful attention being given to every detail of the work. Mr. McRae is also interested in lobster canning, owning an extensive fac- tory, which he has also found a profitable source of revenue.

Mr. McRae married Miss Bell McRae, a daughter of Donald and Jessie (McRae) McRae, of Point Prim, her paternal grand- father being also the grandfather of the sub- ject of this sketch. To Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Rae has been born onechild, Flora.

ALBERT THEODORE CRAIG, a well known .and successful merchant at Freetown, Prince county, was born at Middleton, Prince Edward Island, on February 26, 1872, and is a son of John and Jane

(Wright) Craig. the former a native of ._

613 Middleton and the latter of Bedeque, both in this province, the mother being a daugh~ ter of Thomas \Vri-ght. To these parents were born three children: Colin, who mar- ried Miss Louise Wright and follows farm- ing at Middleton; Lizzie and Albert Theo- dore, the subject. The father was a Liberal and fraternally a member of the Independ- ent Order of Foresters, while he and his wife were faithful and consistent members of the Methodist church. Mrs. Craig died in about 1890.

The subject of this sketch received his education in the public~schools at Bedeque and since attaining mature years has de- voted his time and attention to the general merchandise business in which he has been eminently successful. He carries a large and well selected stock of such goods as are in demand by the local trade and his business dealings have been characterized by absolute rectitude, so that he has at all times com- manded the confidence and respect of those who have had dealings with him. Mr. Craig is also the owner of a fine farm of fifty acres, all of which is under cultivation and highly improved and which he has found a profitable source of income. On February 6, 1897, Mr. Craig married Miss Jane Tay- lor, a daughter of Peter Taylor, of Free- town, and to them have been born tivo chil- dren: Edna and Harold. Fratemally Mr. Craig belongs to the Independent Order of Foresters and gives his political support to the Liberal party. He was at one time tax collector but aside from this he has taken no personal part in public affairs beyond the exercise of his right of franchise. He gives his support to every movement having for its object the advancement of the commu- nity's best interests and stands high in the estimation of all who know him.
