services,’ Shaw told reporters after he had been introduced to Defense Minister Ralston at a Summerside Public Rally in favor of a ‘yes’ vote in the April 27th Man- power Plebiscite.

‘The way we look at it,’ he said, ‘if a country is worth living in, it’s worth fighting for. It’s tough trying to run the farm, but I haven’t tried to keep any of my boys from enlisting.’

The sons in the army are, Garfield, 35, at Camp Borden; John Augustus, 33, at St. John; Bayfield in the Highlanders, and Gordon Raymond at Petawawa, Ontario. James Avard, William Utley and Wilfred Walker are in the navy. Lorne and Holden Saunders have volunteered and are just waiting their call.”

It would be interesting to compare this record in a book of records to see what the record for the number of brothers serving in World War II really is, but for now, the people in the Campbellton and Bloomfield area are sure that the honor belongs to the Shaw family.

44. CAMPBELLTON UNITED CHURCH CEMETERY

The oldest stone in the cemetery is that of William Coughlin who died on March 17, 1852, aged 25 years and 4 months. He was the son of William Coughlin. This date is important not only in establishing the date of origin for the cemetery, but also in indicating the existence of the Presbyterian Church in Campbellton at least by 1852.

45- NOTE ABOUT THE DAUGHTERS OF DR. CORNELIUS O’LEARY

In order to avoid confusion between two transcriptions, it should be noted here that Dr. Cornelius O’Leary’s two daughters are buried in the Campbellton United Church Cemetery. Mary A. O’Leary was brought up by James and Christy Ramsay in Campbellton as a Protestant and her death is inscribed on the stone of James and Christy Ramsay. Her sister, Mary Napoleon O’Leary, was believed to have been raised as a Protestant in Miminegash by an as yet unknown family. Her grave and stone were near the fence on the right side, at the end where the right side line meets the rear line (C-28) on the cemetery map on file in the Museum and Heritage Foun- dation, Charlottetown. Her stone has been moved from its correct position and is now leaning against another stone near the middle of the cemetery.
