              Series · 1938-1970
              Part of Stanley F. Flaherty family fonds
              Series forms part of the Stanley F. Flaherty family fonds and consists of an original indenture made on February 27, 1961 between Jessie Kennedy of Midland, Ontario and Myrtle Norwood Flaherty of LaSalle, Quebec, wherein Flaherty purchased land in Petpeswick from Kennedy. In addition there is an original deed of release dated 1970 between Myrtle (Norwood) and Stanley Flaherty and the Crown regarding the expropriation of land near Martinique Beach. In addition there is a photocopy of an agreement regarding property boundaries of land near Martinique Beach signed by Mary Bayers, William Conrad, Arthur Bayers, and Jessie Kennedy in 1938 with an accompanying map by Morrison and Parker that showing the estate of W. J. Kennedy. Jessie Kennedy was Jessie Lavinia Star, daughter of James and Sophia (Greenough) Chisholm (b. January 10, 1881, Greenough Settlement) who married William J. Kennedy on June 24, 1908. Kennedy was a physician from Middleboro, Ontario and they lived in Musquodoboit Harbour for a time. They were living there in 1911 and had two sons, Stephen J. and William. Arthur Bayers may have been Arthur Augusta Bayers of East Petpeswick (b.1883). He had a daughter named Mary (b. 1910) and his mother’s name was also Mary, therefore either Mary Bayers could have signed the land agreement. Also included is another map showing land surveyed by Walter Stewart for Clarence J. Bayers, Dorothy J. Campbell, and Cora and Gerald Conrod in the Martinique Beach area and dated July 10, 1962.
