Notes for James "Harry" Harding
Jennifer MacKay says: Aggie would talk about Harry going west to Thrash flaxseed (I think that is what he did.) and that he did not come home to PEI until Hollis was born, (1920), as Hollis was the first male (Harry had three girls). So as a guess Mary when she was in western Canada. He was a little man, not very tall. Aggie would say my brother Kent reminded her of Harry.
Dale says: Dale tells me that Harry went to Western Canada several times because that’s where his brother Wallace lived. He would go out and do work. He did have a live-in lady after his wife died but he only married once according to my brother. When my parents got married they lived in the house at the bottom of the hill in FR, with Harry. I know this because apparently my mother and Harry didn’t get along very well. Mary died at 62 and Harry live to be 86. There is a Mount Royal university in Calgary perhaps it’s Mount Royal instead of Saint royal? It was established in 1910, so maybe
