MACFARLANE HISTORY

David MacFarlane was born in Bedeque, Prince Edward Is— land. When a young man he moved to Carleton and bought the farm now owned by Mark McCarville and was the first MacFar- lane settler in this district. In 1842 he married Ellen Manson of Carleton, and to this union was born nine (9) children, five (5) sons and four (4) daughters. Besides being a farmer David was a carpenter and helped build the old Carleton School which still stands at Carleton Corner. It is said that during the year 1858, when a terrible epidemic of diphtheria broke out in this part of P.E.I. that Mr. MacFarlane was busy day and night building cof- fins, in which to bury the dead, of which two (2) were his own children, William A., who was only three (3) years old and John ‘T., who was two (2) years old.

James, his eldest son, was like his father, also a carpenter, but little is known about his work as he died in 1875 when only twenty-three (23) years old.

Mary Ellen moved to Haverhill, Mass, and worked in a ment- al hospital. She married Finaldo Glines and died in 1932.

Donald, another son, was also a carpenter and helped build the old Landsdown Hotel at Cape Traverse wharf, and also the present Free Church of Scotland, of Cape Traverse, the spire of which for many years was a guiding landmark for ‘the ice-boat crews when crossing the Straits.

Eliza Jean taught school at Carleton before moving to Den- ver, U.S.A., where she received further education at University and later became the first woman in North America to become Assistant District Attorney. She practiced in San Francisco, her work being largely with broken homes and needy children. She married Harry DeGre-ar in 1899 and John Tedigh in 1927.

She passed away in 1936. _53_
