the grandson of one of the founding families in Kinkora , Patrick Murphy and Bridget Trainor . He was born and educated in Kinkora , and though he had left it to find work when he was sixteen, and had lived in other communities, he was still a son of Kinkora . As if to make sure there was no doubt about the matter Kinkora held a banquet for the returning Doctor Murphy at which a reporter said those attending tried to outdo onejanother in honoring the Doctor; -there, A some twenty honorary toasts. (35) Dr. Murphy did not practise medicine in Kinkora ; he became a resident of Alberton and then Tignish. But his return visits to the community were noted, especially when he came as a representative of the Progressive Conservative Party (he was a candidate for the House of Commons, but was defeated), and when he became a Senator in 1912. (36) In the letter reprinted above two other sons of Kinkora are named; interestingly, both are medical doctors, and both are descendants of founding families. Dr. George Cahill was born in 1840; graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1870; did most of his medical work in Lynn, Massachusetts ; and was buried in the family plot in Kinkora in 1881. (37) Dr. Michael Wall was born in 1844; graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical College in 1876; spent most of his medical career in Emerald ; and was buried in Kinkora in 1896. A special monument stands in the Kinkora cemetery in his honor, partly in recognition of the generous donation he made to the cost of building the new church. (38) While these sentiments and customs may not be unique to Kinkora, they do provide important understanding about the people, their ideasyy feelings,. 7 c
