CARLETON SIDIN G

In the fall of 1913 work was started on a new branch of the Canadian National Railway, leaving the line running into Cape Traverse at a point in the eastern end -of Carleton School Dis- trict, running through Carleton to a terminal at Carleton Point later renamed Port Borden in honor of Sir Robert Borden who was then Prime Minister of Canada. As the railway came into being, a siding was established at Carleton on land which was purchased from Frank Muttart and Michael McCarville.

The first building to appear at the Siding was a potato ware— house owned by Herbert Lord and operated by Lords Company of Cape Traverse. This building was later moved to Carleton

shore and transformed into a summer cottage by its present own— er, Keith Lord.

The next building was another potato warehouse owned by

Edward MacFadyen which was later replaced by a much larger building.

Before long other buildings began to move in. One was mov- ed from Wright Leard’s in Bedeque by Warren Lord who, with his wife Millicent Muttart, occupied it for a number of years. He was followed by John H. Howatt, an employee of the C.N.R., who with his wife, Mary James, and family, Jennetta, Harold, Lloyd and Vivian, made it their home for some time. The property was then acquired by Montague Campbell who occupied it until his death together with his wife, Barbara MacFarlane, and daugh- ter Helen, now Mrs. Julian Herring of Charlottetown. The house is presently occupied by Austin Campbell and his wife, Ora Mac- lnnis, whose family consist of Audrey, Robert, Jean and Sharon.

Cook Howatt, Sr., a C.N.R. employee, moved a house from Cape Traverse in which he lived with his wife, Edna Howatt, and family for a number of years (see Howatt History). The house was later sold to its present owner, Hedley Muttart, for use of his farm help. It is now occupied by Stanley Rogers, his wife Teresa Pineau, and family, Eric, Linda, Donna, Gerald, Gail and Kenneth.

A building which had been used as a school house in Augus- tine Cove was moved to its present site by Edward MacFadyen. It was first occupied by Peter Peters, his wife Luella Leard, and family, Ralph, Betty and Shirley, Alphonse Chaisson is now mak- ing his home in it together with his wife, Bella Gallant, and fam- ily consisting of Willard and Betty who are not at home, Ernest, Peter, Leonard, Joseph, Catherine and Albert.

A house moved from Cape Traverse passed through several hands and was finally acquired by Frank Quigley whose comfort- able home it is at the present time.

The home of John Quigley, his wife Hazel Gunning, and fam- ily Gale, Carol, Brenda, Eric, Loretta and Leona, was moved from the George Bynon property which is dealt with elsewhere.

Wilber Cairns built a new home and is at present occupying it with his Wife, Thelma Quigley, and their family consisting of Margaret, Raymond and Frank.
