they got it done over in ash. The same man who built the church did it over on the inside. David Kirk and his brother maybe had a fancy for building churches. He built the Lot 16 church in 1876 and he helped build the church in Indian River . He was a master carpenter and built some of the churches in Charlottetown and was building the Presbyterian church in Summerside when he took a stroke and it killed him. When he built our church he was only twenty-four years old. Some of the receipts that he gave for the money he was paid shows he only got $500 for building it. The receipts were put in an old Bible. I don't know where they went although I saw them myself. Many records were lost when William MacGregor 's house was burned down years ago. Mervin Inman Reflection on Church Seating . Everyone had their seat in the church. Mine was near the front on the right hand side, one row back of where they closed up the window.

The MacGregors sat halfway back on the same side as us. Earl Yeo used to have a seat on the left hand side and, I think the Lyles sat in the front row in the cen¬ ter. There were always lots of seats for other people since the congregation was small. As well, there were two seats on each side of the choir. Some families had cushions on their seats and boys! If you sat in them you were in trouble. I was on the Board of Stewards when the new seats were voted. We had a meeting out at Clarence Carr 's to see if people were willing to put in the new seats. There was quite a bunch of us in attendance and all of us paid for our seats that night.

This Bible was earned by memorizing selected passages of Scripture whue 206 United Church and Its People
