JAMES and EUPHEMIA farmed the Anderson property which is now owned by George MacEwen. The Anderson home was located on the same site as today, that is, next to Anderson’s bridge. The only way that the Anderson family could access the main New London highway before the Route 6 road was built, in the early 1900’s was along a lane. This lane came onto the road {#224} near the old school ‘in the hollow’. The new highway was certainly a great time—saver for the Anderson and Pickering families. James and Euphemia had two Children: Mary and Robert II.

1. Mary (1873—1972) m. Everett Clark (1870-1937). Everett’s family formerly came from Tryon. They lived in Summerside and had a family of three children:

1. Brenton 2. Irma 3. Hillard

2. ROBERT II (Nov. 12, 1877-June 2, 1938) son of James and Euphemia MacLure Anderson In. Feb. 16, 1904 to AGNES SIMPSON (May 25, 1877 - Apr. 15, 1933) daughter of Junius and Jane MacEwen Simpson of Hope River Road. Their farm was located alongside Anderson’s Creek. Robert also worked at the National Park, Cavendish, after it was established.

Robert and Agnes had two children:

1. MARGARET (Apr. 4, 1905 -July 5, 1970) m.January 1, 1930 to CRANFORD MacKAY (Sept. 21, 1903 - June 17, 1970) - son of D. Wallace and Margaret MacKay. {see Campbellton Road}

2. Evelyn (Jan. 9, 1911-1982) m. Oct. 19, 1932 Wilbur MacKay (June 21, 1899—1985) — son of John and Catherine (Taper) MacKay. They lived on the Fountain Road. Evelyn and Wilbur did not have a family.

After Robert Anderson II died, the property which consisted of 112 acres, was sold, Aug. 1, 1938 to John Gillis, from Glen Valley. In 1944, Mr. Gillis sold the property to Blois and Irene Pickering MacEwen. The same land has since passed to their sons Ernest, George and their

families.
