     I cannot think of the Eldon medical practice 
     
     without giving great credit to my wife who kept the 
     
     books, and often kept the patient in the waiting rooms 
     
     satisfied that I would return. One time I arrived back at the 
     
     office after 2 am. and there were up to a dozen patients 
     
     waiting. Another time she had a patient there with a heart 
     
     attack, and the pain was so bad there were beads of sweat 
     
     showing on the back of his coat. I-Ie survived. I kept him in 
     
     bed for three weeks, and then sent him to the hospital for 
     
     an X-ray which showed a massive attack. I advised more 
     
     bed rest and the next thing I heard he had plastered a large 
     
     building in Charlottetown. Of course, he was a strong man 
     
     who had been a sparring partner of Jack Dempsey at one 
     
     time. 
     
    

    
     Although it is only 47 years since I went there, 
     
     many changes have taken place in Eldon. The village, 
     
     which can hardly be called one at present, had many 
     
     more activities. In the village were two stores: Marty 
     
     MacDonald’s and David Ross’s. There was a large hall 
     
     at the corner which was across the road from our home. 
     
     There were many dances and concerts (including fights) 
     
     right below our windows. There were also two other stores 
     
     in the community, Dan MacPherson’s and Sam Frizzell’s. 
     
     There was a funeral parlour, two churches, a Post Office 
     
     and school, a tailor shop and a garage and a blacksmith 
     
     shop and a library. Two doctors lived in the village, myself 
     
     and Dr. Dave MacKenzie, who was retired. There was also 
     
     across the road from us, a plasterer who later plastered 
     
     Montgomery Hall. Archie Murchison was a strong man 
     
     with large arms and at one time he worked in the USA as a 
     
     blacksmith. One time he said he was invited and accepted 
     
     to be a sparring partner to Jack Dempsey, the world
