The greater number -went to , but about fourteen families 3ourques, Pitres , Chaissons and Peters removed to wh(;re they purchased lands from the late John Cmmbridge upon which they settled in the year 1801 or 1802. Two families of Longue-epee went to Souris , where the Chiveries of Little River removed some years later. The old burial ground at Bay Fortune is still discernible on the property of Mr Charles Aitken , There had been in the time of the French Occupation a Catholic Church at Bay Fortune , but it fell into ruins and was never replaced by the Acadians, 'Travelling missionaries frequently held stations in thesettlement in the house of Honore Michel who was a prosperous blacksmith without a family. The first priest of whom there is mention made as having served these Acadians is Monsieur Magdandj then came a Monsieur Ledru whose letters to the Bishop of Quebec may be seen in the Archives of the Diocese of Charlottetown . After Monsieur Ledru 's departure the next priest to visit Bay Fortune was the Abbe de Calonne who, sent by the Bishop of Quebec to make Inquiries as to the state of the Church in lie Jean, established himself near Port-La-Joie, on what is now called the Warren Farms , whence he started on various missions throught- out the Island. Soon after his arrival it chanced that one, Germain Chaisson , of Bay Fortune fell ill of the small-pox, A messenger was dispatched to Joie and the priest set out to administer the consol¬ ations of religion to the sick man. There was no "royal road" to duty for the brother of a first minister of France, Through dense forests and treacherous togs, over meadows on which the summer sun beat piteously, across bays and rivers, on foot and by canoe the good priest pursued his weary way. When he arrived at Chalsson's house, he found the sick man almost smothered for want of air, and proceeded to give a lesson In hygiene by opening all doors and windows. Having revived the patient, he heard his confession and remained with him until his death which occured shortly after. This Germain Chaisson was considered quite a scholar in his day and was also a very good man, one who made a point of collecting the inhabitants of the settlement and reading the prayers of the Church to them on Sundays and rloly Days when they were without a priest. Naturally he was much esteemed and all his neighbours, protestant as well as catholic flocked to his funeral. The Abbe de Calonne seized the opportunity to preach a very clear and practical instruction over the grave, one which made a deep impression upon all who heard it, and of which their descendants talked about for years, After the Abbe Calonne, came Abbe Gabriel Champion and then Father Aeneas Bernard MacEachern , afterwards first Bishop of Charlottetown , under whose direction was built the first log chapel in the year 180^. At this time there were but eighteen families in the parish and they all assisted in the building of the little church which was but thirty feet in length by twenty in
