L. and Laughlin McKinnon. In 1807 a further impetus was given to the growth of Montague by the construction of a branch line cf the Canadian National Railway, connecting the town with the main- line at a point a little below the ( village of Cardigan. Five years lat- er a new steel bridge was built and five years after'this the town was inccrporsmed. Since then it‘ has progressed favorably under the cap- able management of its own public men. At present Montague has a Cath- olic, a United, a Presbyterian, a Baptist, and a Christian Church, all of which were built betwee s the years 1870-1880. Before these dates there was a small Methodist Church where the Presbyterian Church now stands. ‘_ The school in Montague was bunt between 1880-1840 the time at which nearly all the schools in ‘Three Riv. ers were established for a grant was then first received from the Gov- ernment for educational purposes. About six years ago a fine large school was built and dedicated as a monument to the memory of those courageous men who fought and perished in the Great War. Montague is now a fine town with a concrete street and many beauti- ful residences, together with all the. social and industrial interests which are essential to a well proportioned community.

In 1874 Georgetown was linked up with the Island railway, and with the new coxnmodious potato were- llcuse is now a fine fall and winter shipping port. It has many large stores and splendid hotels and is an ideal tourist resort. Georgetown Royalty, land lying between the mouths of the Bruden- ell and Cardigan Rivers is some- what low and swampy but makes excellent pasturage. The fine settlement of Y “ ig fronting on Cardigan Bay was set- tled ln 1788 by McPhees, McCor- mscks, Walkers and McDonalds. 0f these, McCoi-maok came out from Scotland in 1772 with" Captain John McDonald, the others came with Father McEachern in 1790. All stay- ed at Scotchfort for a few years, when they removed to Launching and bought eight hundred acres of land, which they farmed Jointly for s. while and afterwards divided. Launching had the first church in Three Rivers, a log structure built in 1802 near Launching Bay. It was replaced in 1827 and in time a parochial house was added where Rev. John McDonald of 'I‘recs.dle took up his residence and looked after the missions of all eastern King's County. In later years the settlement of Narrows creek be- came a greater center of population than Launching so here ln 1860 Rev. Francis McDonald built a more cen- trally located church and dedicated it to St. George and thus the settle- ment became known as St. Georges. In the hundred and forty odd years of Launching history it has displayed a spirit of culture and re- finement and in educational mat- ters have shown a progressive en- deavour, havlng captured for three successive years the cup donated by Governor Hearts for the finest kept school property. I ' DeGros Marsh De Gros Marsh the‘ next settle- ment to the west along the north bank-of the Cardigan River was settled some years later than Laun- ching by Steels, McPhees, McLel- lans, McLeods and Campbells, who were a chivalrous and hospitable class of people. Here in 1838 Hon John Goff acquired s. huge estate of over seven hundred acres on which he built a saw and grist mill. From DeGros Marsh to the sits of the present bridge the country was settled by Mcfntyres, McKenzies, McRaes, Campbells, Crawfcrds, Mc- Leods, Greens and McDonslds the , ogenito s of Hon. H. L. McDon- ald, e. former commisloner of Public Works. On the south side of the river from Georgetown Royalty to Car- digan Bridge, lands were taken up by McPhees, Campbells, Hollands, Wilsons, Parker's, and McAuleys. Hon. Roderick McAulay was once a Speaker of the Assembly. Up near the site of the present bridge were the Owen Brothers, Thomas and Lemuel, both of whom were repre- sentatives of Cardigan District, the latter being Premier of Prince Ed- ward Island. They owned a. large tract of land and carried on merch- sndizing and shipbuilding extensive- ly. Their land is now the property of Charles and Stafford Gordon, Joe'- chim Sullivan and Mrs. Margaret McNicholl. In the vicinity of Cardigan Bridge which was built about the year 1860 were Thomas McDonald, John Kon- esn, John Parker, Sigsworths, Wil- sons and others. After the building of the bridge, shipbuilding was car- ! rled on quite briskly by Welsh and Owen, George Owen, John Scrim- geur and his son, J. G. Scrimgeur and Hon. H. L. ‘McDonald. In later days I-Icn. James E. McDonald and Hon. J. A. McDonald carried on shipbuilding and merchandising. Other merchants and masterbuild- era were: Owen Connolly, Morson and Morgan, Wm.‘ Minto, James D. McDonald, J. 1". Norton, Duncan McLarsn who built twenty vessels at Cardigan alone, and W .P. Lewis, a native of Scotland who was a magistrate and a skilled marble cut- tsr. James McVane was postmaster for many years and was succeeded by B. J. McDonald 6s Co., who also carry on a dry goods store. First Cardigan Church Tbs first church in Cardigan was Presbyterian and was opened in i 1862. The Catholic Church was built in 1874. This church had for mall! years as pastor Rev. Dr. McMillan, author of “The sliarly Hlllflfy 01 The Catholic-Church in Prince Ed- ward Island. At the head of the tide there were: Shephards, Wslshs, Ryans and Redinonds, and here Wm, Alley had a saw mill.

Miss B.

Dr. John God- die, first missionary from Canada All these mills have crumbled be- neath the relentless hand of decay with ithe exception of Fergusons which is used by means of an hy- draulic ram to supply the railway, tank with water. For a time it seemed as if this picturesque vel- ley would be sealed ‘up within the‘ precincts of its silent hills, but the hand of destiny ruled otherwise and today the shriek of the locomotive ‘awakens the woodland echoes. The railway has even changed the topo- graphy of the country, one of its miniature mountains having been entirely removed to supply gravel for the roadbed. Lorne Valley was originally in- cluded in the Cardigan Head School district where a free church was es- tablished about the year 1880. It was later removed to Lorne Valley. The people were nearly all Scotch who moved there from Belfast, Union Road, a rich tract ofagrl- cultural country west of Brudenell, was settled as early as 1848 by Mel- llshes and Moores from Pownal, Martins from Newtown and Rosses from Belle River, followed later by McGregors, Nicholsons, and Mac- Phersons. Victoria Cross had its first settler in 1830, a man called Spar- row. Between this time and 1840 Beatons, MacLeods, MaeKenzies, MscQueens, MacBeths, Bruces, Campbells and Nlcholsons came from Scotland and settled in this section. " Greenfield the settlement to the west was settled by Sullivans, Troys, Ilynes, O‘I~Iallorans and Brothers, who were of Irish descent. Summervllle forms "s. beginning of a chain of settlernen extending down the Town road o George- town, a beautiful and attractive country. Father of Waters This settlement may be regarded as the father of waters as the Brud- enell, Morell and Vernon Rivers all rise within its boundaries. With the exception of the McEachems, Mc- Millans, MoNells, and Frasers who were Scotch, the settlers were of Irish descent and included Ed- monds, Lannons, Currsris, Cains, Doyles, Murphys, Powers, Walshs, Cronlns, and Dunne. These people have built up a fine settlement and have contributed much to co-oper- ation by the organization of the Maple Leaf Institute, which has been quite a benefit to the com-i munity. They have also been for- ward in educational matters, hav- ing produced a Bishop and a poet- oss. . New Perth, the settlement east of Summerville had as its first settler in 1817 Peter Robertson, who took up his residence quite near to where a branch of the Brudenell River rose, on the farm now occupied by Wm. Cain. Robertson was followed the next year by John Dewar. These people came via Brudenell where they remained a short while at first. They were followed a few years: later by Stewarts, Shaws, McDon- alds, Gordons, McNellls, MoLeans, Mclntyrce, Hamlltons, Mlnohins, Moors, Smiths and others.

The story is not complete without mentioning the Three Rivers Dairy- mens‘ Association formed at New Perth in 1888, which society was in- directly the means of an industrial and agricultural revolution, name- ly: Co-operative dalrylng. When Dr. James W. Robertson came to the Island in 1891 in the interests of co-operative dalrying, he failed to receive any response to his pro- Ject until he addressed ‘the Three Rivers Dairymens‘ Association- They accepted his offer and New Perth had the first CO-OPCIBUVC dairy factory in Prince Edward Island. The executive committee were John Hamilton, Cyrus Shaw, Alex. Hamilton, Stewart McLarcn, James Gordon, J. A. Dewar and Wm.
