ANDERSON WOOLNER

The Woolner property located at the end of the Mill River Road was originally two parcels of land. The one closest to the shore, familiarly called the ANDERSON property contains 73 acres. The first record of this land is listed on September 7, 1841, when Samuel Cunard deed- ed land to James Banks.

On Feb. 6, 1860, James Banks and his wife deeded this property to DONALD McKAY, who on Aug. 10, 1861, sold the land to Archibald Bernard, who apparently did not live here. Another change for this land is dated Nov. 26, 1866, when the property was purchased by ALEXAN- DER ANDERSON. This parcel remained in the ANDERSON name until Aug. 25, 1925, when it was purchased from Alexander Anderson’s grandson, William M. Bennett, by RICHARD WOOLNER. Mr. Bennett had moved to British Columbia, and Mr. Anderson’s family mem—

bers were deceased.

The second tract of land, upon which the buildings are located, contains 71 acres. It was deeded March 5, 1874, from Emmanuel McEachern, to Charles Palmer and Malcolm McLeod. These people were from Charlottetown. Malcolm McLeod was a lawyer. There is no doubt that great interest was taken in this property as it was close to a number of shipyard sites. Again, on Oct. 15, 1884, the property was sold, this time to GEORGE WOOLNER, who paid $1400.00 for

It.

This was considered a large sum of money at this time. The property was deeded to Richard Woolner on July 20, 1899.
