     and we scarcely knew him. Ross MacPherson's father 
     
     owned quite a lot of the park land. Malcolm MacPherson 
     
     was a painter and some of his work still remains. Horatio 
     
     Cantello, who used to can lobsters in Belle River, lived on 
     
     the town road, and their son has a motel on his farm. 
     
    

    
     The McCauls were good patients of mine, and 
     
     3 their home was at the intersection of the road to St. 
     
    

    
     John’s Church and the Iona road. Hughie MacWilliams 
     
     (little Hughie) died suddenly and his mother lived there. 
     
     Another house was Lloyd Singleton’s. He came from Wood 
     
     Islands, from a large family. He drove a truck for years. 
     
     Lloyd was a pleasant type to talk to. 
     
    

    
     Justin VanIderstine lived on the Wharf Road. He 
     
     was a veteran, and he was rough and ready. One time 
     
     when Dr. Harold Stewart was the doctor, Justin had cut off 
     
     his finger in the pump. Fred, his son, said he would get the 
     
     horse and drive him to the doctor. Justin said, ”Jesus, it is 
     
     not my feet I cut off." He used to tell the story of getting 
     
     home and the cat was eating his finger. 
     
    

    
     Vernon Finlayson had a garage about half mile 
     
     from the office. I delivered their children. Frank and 
     
     James MacMillan had farms on either side of the road 
     
     to the Selkirk Park. They were from the early settlers. 
     
    

    
     It was the home of Dr. Joe and Dr. Frank MacMillan in 
     
     Charlottetown. The Selkirk Park was established when we 
     
     were there, and Ross MacPherson was the caretaker. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Editor’s Note: 
     
    

    
     There were several other friends and neighbours 
     
     in Eldon, held in high regard by Dr. MacDonald. Since 
     
     he wrote over three or four years, sometimes there 
     
     was a lapse of time, resulting in omissions and some 
     
     duplications. Consequently, some names he would have 
     
     intended to include, have been left out.
