I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's always interesting to read accounts from ancestors!

Enjoying the story you sent that Lila wrote.  Shared it with her grandson and her nephew lot 59 would like to correspond with you.  He's lot 59 (Arthur's son and lives in the old homestead).  Finding this quite interesting that we would get a Whim Road story from so far away thanks so much for sharing!

Yes, kind of funny!

Next time I am home (which may not be for a few months...) I will see if my grandfather (Sherley's son, and Lila's nephew) has any more stories - or the rest of the one I posted on here, as it seems there was probably quite a bit more. Should I send Lot 59 a message? They are welcome to contact me in whichever way they would prefer!

Hey Jehane, I know it's been a few years since I posted in here... I will hopefully be in PEI at the end of next week for a day or two, and if it works out I would love to pop by the old homestead/family property. If this reaches you, would you be able to see if Lot 59 would correspond with me? I never received a reply when I sent that message (seems four years ago!). I may be able to get in touch through other family connections, but I will see!
