Aleta and Leeman Mackey fonds

  • CA ETRC P125
  • Fonds
  • 1879-1969

The fonds contains information on the butcher shop owned by Leeman Mackey and also on the Mackey family. It consists of several account books (1879-1938), a calendar (1926), a schoolbook (1908), a piano method (1969) and a few photographs (1909 & 1969). The photographs show T.S. Chapman in front of "Good Cheer Lodge" in 1909 and Kathleen Mackey with classmates at the Bishopton Intermediate School in 1969 (the last class before the closure of the school). The school book is autographed "Cora Brown". Among the account books are one for the Megantic Rifle Association (1879-1902), one that appears to be for a boarding house (1889-1892), and the others are from Leeman Mackey's butcher business.

Hay wagon and hay rake

In this photograph, we see a hay wagon pulled by two horses. The wagon is full and a man, Roland Vincent, is seated in the pile of hay in the wagon and drives the two horses pulling the wagon. Another man is walking alongside the wagon. In the left foreground, we see a hay rack that was probably used before, pulled by a horse.
On the back of the photograph, this note: "Roland Vincent sur le voyage de foin. Bishopton".
