m. Thursday 12th inst., at residence of bride's father, Long River, New London, P.E.I., by Rev. W.P. Archibald, Rev. Wm. A. MASON. B.A., Presbyterian Minister / Martha JOHNSON youngest d/o Wm JOHNSON, Esq.
Rev. W. A. Mason followed Mr. Cameron and stayed nine years. While he was here the new manse was built. An old subscription list of Jan. 8th, 1883 shows that Long River Church raised $561.00. Mrs. Mason was Martha Johnstone of Long River.
W. A. Mason, a clergyman, can be found in Nova Scotia in the 1901 census, with children Ethel (15), Mary E. (1890, age 11) and Martha J (1895). These last two girls match two children born to W. A. Mason and Martha Johnstone in the PEI Baptismal Index: Mary Edna (30 October 1890) and Martha Johnstone Mason.
From 1903-1911, the family lived on the Island, where W. A. Mason was the minister for the Richmond Bay Charge of the Presbyterian Church, according to Climbing the Hill, page 10. At that time they had three daughters, Ethel, Mary and Martha.
In 1911, the family was in Alberta with the two younger daughters, lodging with David Forbes and his wife Ethel, who was b. PEI in 1886.
Martha's birth changes from born in PEI to Nova Scotia in census records, and the year to 1860.
