Stewart MacDonald, MD.

I can still see him plowing and harrowing, while I was teaching in the school. He was a very pleasant man and we had many long talks through the years. He was mar— ried to Myrtle Munn from Murray River. They had two sons, Malcolm and Floyd. Floyd died about a year ago. Floyd was an accountant, and had university training. Malcolm became a Captain on one of the Wood Islands Ferries. (A lesson: don’t educate your boys if you wish to keep them farming.)

When Lemmie was a young man he seemed to me to be always well dressed and always had a stylish wagon and a spirited driving horse. His animals were always in good shape. I guess that was because he had so much hay and oats to feed them.

I always considered Lemmie one of my best friends, although he was much older than 1. He used to be my barber but never charged a cent.

I felt bad when he took his final illness of kidney fail— ure. I treated him in the Prince Edward Island Hospital but at that time there was little one could do for that disease.

I never saw him cross, even to his horses, and every— one in the country considered him a good neighbour and

friend.
