. Grandfathers Are Most Interesting

HARRISON MacFARLANE, Bedeque had two most interest- ing grandfathers, I found on a visit to the MacFarlane home at i en eid Bedale ete ee, ee the house and practically everything in it, including some in-

" MacFarlane had an old Flint Lock muskét a 12.guage affair that Mr: Anderson had used, ond © spect Ss I lifted it‘to my shoulder and pulled the trigger. Anderson lived» «to be 106 years old, which was most: unusual in those days. It's

unusual at any time, but: particularly in those earlier years when ~

MR. mae later to Fernwood where he died. Ky ted that he fought with the 84th Regiment of Foot and had been discharged in 1784. unusual man was 100 years of age when a friend enquir-

This oe eee The reply was “I feel fine. Seldom do you -

a@ man of my age ara. : He came to Bedeque to get marshy land for pasture for his on

e lived on Melrose Farm which is now owned by Wesley Campbell. Anderson moved to Fernwood in 1797 and built a | house at, the East end of the Cove and acquired 600 acres land. He was buried in jue Cemetery and the old headstone says “He retained all of his menial fenninee and this despite the great age he had at . Ss

COMING FROM Scotland he was taken soner at one time by the Indians, but managed to escape. cellar of his house may still be seen at Salutation Cove, I was told.

One old story handed down says at one time bears chased some of Mr. Anderson's sheep right into his house on one

Donald MacFarlane was his other grandfather and he also had- an interesting.background. This man was the original MacFarlane in this province and all of the MacFarlanes here now are descendants, his greatgrandson told me.

Once when Donald MacFarlane was put in charge of a prison which held pirates, one of the pirates apparently took a liking to him and gave him a chart and indicating where pirate gold was buried in the West Indies. “* "s more gold there’’, the pirate told him “than any 10 generations of people could spend.”’ f

Donald MacFarlane fitted out a brig and sailed for the West. Indies.at the first opportunity but the brig was wrecked in a storm off Cape Sambro, not long after he left Halifax.

Pirate Gold Dream Was Ended

WITH THE insurance money, Donald MacFarlane was able to another vessel but preparations for the trip were still u for the voyage when a rope block fell from the crosstrées and killed his who was standing beside him.

And that ended the m of —- pirate . Mr, MaétFariane came to the conclusion that his Maker didn’t want

him fo have any of the ill-gotten wealth. “‘So he abandoned the ide& and the MacFarlanes have been working for their living ever Since’, Harrison told me.

Donald MacFarlane had come from Virginia. When the War : of e broke out he fought on the side of the British,

and his scarlet

tunie was in his son's’ possession at the time of

visit. . “Maternal Greatgrandtather Anderson had also fought for British. His discharge paper, da June 2%, 1874, signed - Major he Adolphus Harris, corhmanding His Majesty's Regiment of Foot, was another treasured possession that

The gun came from Colorado many years ago. With the old Colt, which had been sent home by one of Harrison's brothers to their father, was an ingenious powder and a bullet mould.

things I saw at the MacFarlane home included an Indian tomahawk that came from Miminegash where an Indian ‘was fought long ago. There was also a set of deer horns— were native to the Island once, And there was a that had been picked up near Muddy Creek, west

The first would te a decision that the growers don't want a plan or a Board at all and go along without either. The more likely decision would be to set up

temporary plan with probably about the same powers but with a re-organized Board onthe basis already outlined by- the Minister. Perhaps yr should try and set this down_ more exact form.
