s DEDICATION In 1973 we celebrate the 100th anniversary of our Island'' entrance to the Dominion of Canada , and we feel it is only fitting that we should honor those pioneers who, with their piety cour¬ age and strenuous endeavors made it possible for us to enjov the rolling hills with their verdant fields and babbling brooks. We therefore dedicate this book to perpetuate the achievements of our ancestors, whose memory we cherish.
