The ”R.osebanlt." the "Margaret Pollock" and the "Lady Con- stable" brought out hundreds.

many of whom found their way to the estate of Mr. Mann, whose a- gent offered them land on liberal terms. The majority of these peo- ple were tenants of the notorious Henry Westeura, Lord Rossmore. and had been bordering on starva- tion at home. where they"eked out a miserable existence on farms of from two to seven acres. upon which it was barely possible to live, much less to pay rent. Others again, were from the parish of Ty- nan, where was the celebrated "Bishop estate" administered by a body of twelve clergyman. On this estate every worldly advantage and indulgence were offered the tenants, provided they would send their children to the "Church School." Of course this tempta- tion kept up a constant struggle between conscience and interest. and the staunch'Catholics found their best safety in flight. . e .

Mr. Mann's estate was divided into farms of one hundred acres. These forms were long and nar- row. extending on both sides of the road, right across the township. The owner or rather his agent. re- served every alternate form, tell- ing the new tenants that if they conducted t'- mselves well and gave satisfaction they should have preference over all newcomers in

the purchase of additional land. as soon as they would be in a posi- tion to add to their original hold- ings. The terms for these farms were, two years free. then twenty years at six pence currency per acre. after that, nine hundred and ninety nine years at one shilling an acre.

The road to Charlottetown was then recently opened and the peo- ple had a further advantage in be- ing near the old Loyalist settle- ment of Bedeque. where they could easily obtain employm....:, and be paid for their work in young cat- tie, grain. seed. and such like. As time wore on the Irish settlers gained the respect and good will of Hon. Joseph Pope. Mr. Mann's a- gent. who suggested to that gentle- man. that land should be given to his tenants on which they might erect a Catholic church. At first. Mr. Mann received the proposal sceptically. Mr. Pope ieplied that he knew the Irish and had reason to judge them more favorably. Be- sides. the very fact of their hav- ing s church would make them more God-fearing and better citi-

stood that his late father-in-law had given them a certain number of acres of land, and he had much pleasure in assuring them that that gift would be extended to one hundred acres. "for," said he, "my dear friends, I am your co-religion- ist. like yourselves, a Roman Cath- olic." Cheer sfter cheer rent the air upon this announcement; and the good settlers of ”Sou' West" went home, happy in the present and secure for the future.

. . . In the meantime the church had

progressed and was placed under the invocation of St. Malachy. The

.outside bf the church was complet-

ed and the floor laid just about the time of Mr. and Mrs. Giliean's arrival at Bedeque, and they signi- lfied their intention of being pres- ait at the opening Mass. The sight of a sanctuary raised to God's honour, yet so bore of the veriest necessaries must. have touched the heart of the generous French gentleman for. after Mass, he promised the people that on his

In 1856 the late Judge Pope when in Philadelphia, on behalf of his brother. the late Hon. J. 0. Pope, negotiated with Mr. 'snd Mrs. Oiliean for the purchase of their Prince Edward Island estate, and the terms of sale being agreed on. Mr. Pope became the proprietor. until 1872.4 when under -the Land Purchase Act, the estate was bought by the Government end re- sold to the early tenants whose descendants still occupy their first holdings. , '

On the 12th day of August 1800. the corner-stone of the present church of St. Malachy was bles- sed and laid by Msgr. James Charles MacDonald, Bishop oi!

Many amusing anecdotes are re- lated of early days in Bou' West. On one occasion an elderly emi- grant who was a most devoted friend to Mr. Nann's agent came to him with the enquiry:

"Does your Honour want a boy?" "I do." said the gentleman thus interrogated. -

"Who is he?" "Burd he come your Honour." "Well, is he able to work?"

"He is. your Honour." - "What age is he "I

The people of Kinkors adhere with great tenacity to the baptis- mll designations me by their ancestors. so that naturally these names being repeated often. be- come augmented in the process. and we hear of Lauty's Blddy, and Pat's Ann, and Tim's Pat. and so forth. To avoid this endless repeti- tion. the priest undertook to in- troducc a few new names and commenced by bsptizlng a little girl, born on the 15th November. Gertrude. This was looked upon as an unpardonablc breach of cus- tom by one old womsp of St. Mal- achy's. Upon hearing of it, she put on her shawl and went to see her neighbour,

"Arrah," said she, "did ye hear what they called the little girl?” "No, what?" asked the neighbou . "Garter." said the dams with in- clescrlbable contempt”

Another old settler. hearing that his son had called his child Ros- ella Agatha. said: "Faith, what I name. Rose Alligator!"

In 1812 the church of St. Mais- chy was enlarged and improved by Father Doyle who added I chancel. vestry. tower and spire. It was complete in its appointments and contained 8 pretty altar, it fine sta- tus in "Carton Pierre", of the as- crsd Heart and one of our Lady of Lourdes. beside plaster casts of the Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph, and a nest set of stations of the cross. Mr. Glllean's large picture of the Crucifixion long a- dorned the wall of the Sanctuary.

Father Doyle began building a fine residence close to the church which is an ornament to the coun- try side. In the neatly kept grave- yard are many handsome marble monuments raised to perpetuate the memo y of the honoured dead. Such mark the graves wherein lie the mortal remains of Maurice

this church was solemnly dedi- cated and opened for Divine Serv- ices by Msgr. James oharles Mu- Donald. Bishop of Charlottetown. The Sisters of St. Martha estab- lished their Convent. in 1921. A beautiful new school was begun in 1952 and it will be completely finished and fully equipped for the opening in September next. in 1935. the Sisters of St. Martha purchased the residence built by Mr. M. J. Mclvor to provide suit- able accommodstion for the in- creased number of Sisters requir- ed for their ever-growing school, which now employs five teachers instead of, two as in 1921.

In May 1935. a triple ordination ceremony took Place in St. Mala- chy church. when His Excellency Msgr. J. A. 0'Sullivan elevated to the Holy priesthood two young men of Kinkora parish and one of Summerfield parish. They were Rev. Wilfred Keefe. Rev. Wilfred

Mccardle and Rev. Harold Cro- ken. i In 1937, the Diocesan Euchar-

istic Congress was held in Kin- kora, and on that occasion, the Confraternlty of the Blessed Sac- rament wss officially established in the Diocese of Charlottetown. In 1941. Rev. Leonard Mckenna was ordained in St. Malachy Ciiurch. Rev. Preston I-Ismmili

Three priests of Rellpious Orders also came to their native parish ' of Kinkora to celebrate their first Solemn High Masses: Rev. Rich- ard Johnston, S. J.. in 1936; Rev. W. J. McGuigan. 038.11., in 1987; and Rev. Vincent Murphy, S.J.. in 1938. Two priests. natives of KIM- korn were buried in Klnkora In recent years: Rev.
