IRVING HISTORY

The farm where Boyd Lowther now lives was James Irving’s who was married to Mary Ann Carruthers. They had one (1) daughter, Annie who married Stephen Muttart and he moved into the home where they lived to celebrate their sixty-fifth (65) Wedding anniversary.

There were five (5) children, Maria, James, Irving, Lydia and Hettie.

Maria married John Toombs of Cavendish and had two (2) daughters and three (3) sons. Florence the oldest of the family was born and lived in this home till she went as a saleslady to Summerside and afterward married Norman Campbell of Cape Traverse.

James died in boyhood from Scarlet Fever.

Irving stayed home on the farm and married Ethel MacLean who came from Scotland at three (3) years of age. When the farm was sold to the present owners, Irving built a lovely home in Carleton where they have lived to celebrate their sixtieth (60) wedding anniversary in July, 1960.

Lydia too remained at home and took care of her parents in their old age. After her Mother’s death she was housekeeper for a time for Rev. J. H. Bishop and later for her cousin, the late George Doull.

Hettie was a school teacher and married Lloyd Linkletter of Linkletter Road and she and her husband are living on the same farm as their son, Harold Linkletter.

On the Irving farm in the third field north of the highway, in the early days was a grist mill run by a Mr. Dickie. The stones he used in grinding were brought to the spacious lawn and placed beside the picturesque flower garden as ornaments not far from the shapely tall spruce tree which could be seen for miles away towering above average trees.

Further east on this road was a saw-mill which was first run by John D. Muttart followed by Alexander Robblee also James Thomas Cameron who lived in a house not far from the present Carleton C.N.R. Station. Margaret Cameron was their

only child.

George Bynon too run the mill and lived in a house nearby. He was married to Martha Clare and had five (5) children, Roy, Robert, Agnes, Alfred and Mary.
