     The first school house was built west of where South Lake 
     
     Church stands and the present one was built in 1934. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The district post office was at the home of Daniel MacDonald, 
     
     later owned by his son, Wallace. There was also one at John 
     
    
   
   
    
     MacLeans, now property owned by Mary MacLean, a grand—daughter. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Joe Ford's father, Ben, owned a forge on the site where the 
     
    
   
   
    
     present blacksmith shop belonging to Clarence MacDonald is 
     
     located. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Campbell's Cove 
     
    
   
   
    
     Campbell's Cove was named after Angus Campbell, a first 
     
     settler, Angus Campbell a great, great grand—father of Howard J. 
     
     Campbell, Campbell's Cove, came from Scotland and bought 1000 
     
     acres of land from an old English landlord, by the name of Breau. 
     
     He had a family of eleven children, ten sons and one daughter. 
     
     They all settled along the shore—line. Money did not mean much 
     
     in those days, so for payment of this land, the landlord asked 
     
     for a gallon of rum. The 7th generation of Campbells is living 
     
     on the Howard J. Campbell property at the present time. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Another early settler was Everistus Campbell commonly 
     
     called by the Gaelic name Bridie. He was a great grand—father 
     
     of Charles MacMahon. He had one son, Charles, who married 
     
     Margaret Fisher in 1845 and died in 1875. They had a family of 
     
     4 girls. After the death of Charles, some other person wanted 
     
     to buy this place. Bridie was still living, so in order to save 
     
     the property, he saddled his horse and left home on horseback at 
     
     sunset and arrived at the Land Office in Charlottetown the next 
     
     morning. The other man who wanted to buy the place, arrived in 
     
     Charlottetown the same day but 20 minutes too late. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Campbells and MacIntyres were the first settlers; the 
     
     Campbells owned the land from the Cove to the land owned now by 
     
     Charles (Pius) Campbell, and the MacIntyres, from the Cove to 
     
    
   
   
    
     the church. The first MacIntyre settled on land now owned uy 
     
     John Willie MacIntyre. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Campbell's Cove was the first land sighted by Jacques 
     
    
   
   
    
     Cartier and every ship coming through the Gulf sets its course 
     
     from this point. 
     
    
   
   
    
     It is also the burial place of some early settlers. The 
     
     old cemetery on the property of Sylvanus MacAulay was 3/4 of an 
     
     acre. It was never fenced, but the markings were red, flat 
     
    
   
   
    
     stones, also some head stones. Young fellows playing in the area 
     
    
   
   
    
     used to pull the grass and clay away to see which one could find 
     
     the oldest stone. These stones were later stolen. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The first post office at Campbell's Cove was in charge of a 
     
     Donald Keays. This land is the Charles MacEachern property now.
