While he was pastor of the West Point, Campbellton and Brae Charge, Rev. 
     
     Fraser lived in the Presbyterian Manse on 49-3/4 acres of land on the O’Leary Road 
     
     in Lot 7, near the corner of the Haliburton Road about two farms from that of John 
     
     Easter. 
     
    
   
   
    
     When he gave up his active ministry for the life of a farmer, he acquired a house 
     
     and a fifty acre farm on the Haliburton Road in Lot 7. Rev. Fraser also purchased 
     
     250 acres of farm land in Lot 8 on the O’Leary Road across the O’Leary Road from 
     
    
   
   
    
     his other farm. This land was next to one of John Easter’s farms. Demitted in 1872, 
     
     he settled in Richmond Bay East where he died in 1885. 
     
    
   
   
    
     He preached every Lord’s Day under Presbyterial directions, and he intended 
     
     shortly to resume full ministerial work. His health was completely restored. A week 
     
     before his death he had to preach three times. After morning service he had to cross 
     
     a ferry in a small boat, and through some accident, he had to wade ashore waist deep 
     
     in water. Thus drenched, he proceeded to the church and preached in the afternoon, 
     
     and again in the evening. On Monday, he was ill but no serious fears were felt regar- 
     
     ding his condition till Friday, when inflammation was found to be doing its deadly 
     
     work. He died as he lived, submissive to the will of God. Mr. Fraser left a wife and 
     
     two young children to mourn their loss. With his brethren in the ministry he was 
     
     always a favourite, and his death was deeply felt throughout Prince Edward Island. 
     
    
   
   
    
     REV. A.B. MacLeod 
     
     1882 - 1885 
     
    
   
   
    
     Rev. A.B. MacLeod was born in Strathalbyn, Prince Edward Island, and 
     
     received his early education in the schools of that place and in Prince of Wales 
     
     College, Charlottetown. Being drawn by inward conviction to the work of the gospel 
     
     ministry, he took his preparatory course in Dalhousie University and the 
     
     Presbyterian College, Halifax. His first charge was West Point, Campbellton and 
     
     Brae in the Presbytery of Prince Edward Island, where he was ordained and 
     
     inducted on October 31, 1882. After a few years of service in this scattered field, he 
     
     accepted a call to Mt. Stewart, P.E.I., and afterwards to Coldstream congregation, 
     
     in the Presbytery of Truro. From Coldstream he went to Souris, P.E.I., which was 
     
     his last charge. In all these congregations he made full proof of his ministry, and was 
     
     privileged to gather many precious sheaves into the gamer of God. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Owing to failing health, he sought and obtained leave to retire from the active 
     
     work of the ministry. Later he took up his residence in Charlottetown, and accepted 
     
     an appointment as Chaplain of the Prince Edward Island Hospital. In the midst of 
     
     much weakness and suffering, he continued to bring the good cheer and solace of 
     
    
   
   
    
     the gospel to the sick and dying in that institution, and was called home on April 
     
     9th, 1916. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. MacLeod was a true man of God, faithful in his friendships, sincere, 
     
     devoted and successful in his chosen calling, and left behind him, among all his 
     
     friends and co—workers, the blessed memory of the just.
