who was about three or four years. Graeme used to go for the mail and John Hiram would treat him like a grown up. I appreciated his attention to Graeme, as I was so busy in Medicine. MacLeans lived across the road from John Hiram. The older brother, a bachelor, was to be married to a neighbour and I was about the only one who knew (blood tests). The week before they were to be married, he took a heart attack and died. I had the duty to go and tell his bride-to-be 0f the serious heart attack from which he died that night.

James Halliday and Edna lived at Halliday’s Wharf - they were close friends and have remained so after 42 years since we left Eldon. Bobs West was a veteran in World War II and was a good neighbour. His daughter, Roberta, worked at our home in Eldon for some time and has remained a good friend of my wife. I did not know Stewart MacWilliams very well - he was a carpenter and lived on the Wharf Road. Other good friends who have remained until this day were Hamp Penny and his wife, Peggy. We still keep in touch with the Pennys and the Hallidays. Billy Penny lived across the road; he was a good neighbour. He and his wife kept sheep and ducks on the farm. Eddie Martin, I knew years before, when he and Herbie Worth played the fiddle and piano at some dances. Eddie was always good natured. I don’t think he ever had an enemy of any kind.

On the other side of the town road were a couple of good friends - Johnnie MacWilliams and Ross MacPherson. Johnnie MacWilliams was a good fisherman and was secretary of the Butter Factory - it was always a nice place to Visit. My wife still keeps in touch with Ruby. Ross MacPherson was a war veteran and was a natural gardener. When we came to Charlottetown, he used to come in and plant trees. We have at least a dozen trees
