The Charlottetown, P.E.I. 'Examiner' reports the death of Rev. Pius McPHEE which occurred at Tracadie on Tuesday. The 'Examiner' says: The Rev. Pius McPhee was born at St. Andrew's in this Province on the first of May, 1820, his parents, Angus McPHEE and Mary McINNIS, being natives of Scotland. He was baptized by Bishop McEachern and received his first communion in 1832, from which year until 1839 he attended St. Andrews College. In 1839 he went to the Grand Seminary, Quebec where he pursued studies until 1844 when he returned to the Island and was ordained priest by Bishop McDonald in St. Augustine Church at Rustico. In 1845 he was made a pastor of the district comprising St. Columbia's East Point, St. Margaret's, Bear River and St. Mary's, Souris. Here he remained until 1853 when he was transferred to the pastorate of St. Andrew's, St. Peter's and St. Bonaventure's, Tracadie. During his pastorate, he built several churches.
