Janie MacEwen McLeod of Stanley Bridge.

HERBERT MacEWEN was well known throughout the area as a farmer, fox rancher,

Secretary of the Stanley Bridge Dairying Co. for over twenty years, and livestock buyer for the meat packing plants, Davis & Fraser, which was later named Canada Packers. These

plants were located in Charlottetown. When the Canada Packers plant closed a new one was built under the name of Island Meat Packers. Animals were loaded at the railway station in Kensington and shipped to Charlottetown. In later years animals were shipped off—Island. Herb arranged for drovers for each day that cars had to be loaded. Sometimes this took long days to complete the job, other times it was a part day. The drovers had to pick up the animals at the farmers’ barns, If this happened to be during poor road conditions, then those at home would have no idea when the truckers would return.

Some drovers included: Elmer Wigmore at the Breadalbane Railway Station; Reagh, Borden and Erroll Bagnall at the Hunter River Railway Station; Leland Campbell, Lorne Campbell, Oliver Campbell, Morris Caseley, and Buddy MacEwen who worked out of the Kensington

Railway Station. 262
