I did, however, find William Edge in the index of "A History of the Catholic Church in Eastern Nova Scotia" Vol. I by A.A. Johnston. (Not much info on Edge himself, but extracts are as follows ) ~ CHAPTER 76 Father Vincent de Paul, Trappist p. 373 Schools for Indians and Negroes Father Vincent's interest in education extended to all the children of his missions. In 1821 he wrote: I have already established a schoolhouse at Tracadie and I propose to assemble the Indian families in the neighbourhood of our monastery and establish them there in villages. There we can teach them catechism and give them instruction in how to cultivate the land. A year later he was planning a school for the children of the negroes, and hoped to get as teacher an Irishman named Slevin, [p. 374] who was related to Father Henry McKeagney of L'Ardoise. There is no record to show whether or not Slevin accepted the position, but in April 1823 Father Vincent wrote that a Mr. William Edge had spent the winter at Tracadie, teaching the school subjects and catechism to the children of the parish. For a number of years Edge had been entertaining the idea of becoming a Trappist, but he finally found that he had no vocation to the monastic life. CHAPTER 87 Arichat p. 439 Edge and Larue, catechism teachers Mention was made in Chapter 76 of William Edge, who for some time had been staying with Father Vincent at Tracadie, trying to make a definite decision concerning the possibility of his vocation to the monastic life. Edge spent the winter of 1823-24 at Arichat, where he endeavoured to fit himself for the reception of Holy Orders, while he also helped Father Hudon with the church chant and in preparing children for the reception of their First Communion. In the summer of 1824 he left Arichat and returned to Tracadie to teach school. On 24 September of that year Father Hudon wrote to Bishop Plessis, asking that a seminarian be sent to him to replace Edge, and on 20 December he reported that a young man named Larue* had arrived. Although Larue's health was feeble, he was able to be of some assistance to Father Hudon until June 1825, when he returned to Quebec. CHAPTER 97 Tracadie and the monastery p. 490 A sorrowful death In the summer of 1824, it will be remembered, William Edge returned from Arichat to Tracadie to teach school. Father Hudon, writing from Arichat to Bishop Plessis on 20 December of that year, told of Father Doucet's death: p. 491 This morning I received a letter from Tracadie, from Mr. Edge, telling me that Mr. Doucet was very sick; and about four hours later two men came to tell me that he died yesterday at about eleven o'clock in the morning.

Hi Linda, Thank you for your posting! By chance did you copy anything about William EDGE - my g-g-grandfather? This is the only quote I have from the book you cited, and I wonder if there is any more on him. >From pg 104; text in [brackets] is mine: "Mr. [William] Edge, a doubtful candidate for the Order, was employed [by Fr. Vincent] in winter 1822-1823 teaching school and also Catechism for the children of the parish [at Tracadie].” The Trappist monastery, “Petit Clairvaux,” was founded by Father Vincent de Paul Merle and French Trappists in 1825 and closed in 1919; in 1938 it reopened as “St. Augustine’s Monastery” ruled by the Augustinian Fathers."

I took the following notes from the book "Pioneer Monks of Nova Scotia" before I passed the book on to someone else. Thought some may be interested......... Linda From Pioneer Monks of Nova Scotia "The Monastery" at Tracadie, NS, which was founded as Petit Clairvaux by French Trappists in 1825, sorrowfully abandoned by them in 1919, and re-opened in 1938 by the Augustinian Fathers........ In Pious Memory (an extract from a list of 47 who are recorded as having their last resting place at the Monastery.) p. 151 10. Fr. Andrew Cameron. Donald Cameron was born at South River, At., Co., in the year 1840. Educated at St. FX, he was ordained priest at Arichat by Bishop Cameron whose nephew he was, on Trinity Sunday, 1871. During eleven years he laboured zealously as a parish priest, the last nine yrs. at Creignish, NS at the end of which time he sought the austerities of monastic life. He died April 22, 1884, having joining the Trappist Order about a year and a half before. (Cf. "Aurora", April 23rd and May 7th, 1884) 15. Fr. Patrick Delaney, born at Merland, N.S., in the year 1852. He was the second youngest priest in the community, only 44 years old when stricken with paralysis and heart disease on August 8, 1896. His career from early childhood was marked by innocence and guilelessness. At the tender age of 9 the Monastery attracted his pure soul. He left his father's house and put himself under the guidance of the saintly Fr. James in order to prepare for first Communion. When he had reached his fourteenth year, he ardently desired to become a member of the Monastery and received the habit of the choir religious. He became priest in 1876. It is remarkable that everyone who spoke with him once always remembered him afterwards with kindness. His cheerfulness, good humor, kind heartedness and intense piety endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. The community lost a most useful member, a wise counsellor, a faithful friend and painstaking confessor. {Cf. "Casket", Jan. 27th, 1938 and Aug. 13th, 1896.) 17. Fr. Stephen Daniel MacKinnon was born at North Grant, Antigonish Co., on July 20, 1845. His parents were Neil and Sara. He was a nephew of Archbishop MacKinnon. From his early boyhood he showed clearly his dislike for the ways of the world. At school he was never known to have joined his companions at their amusements during recreation hours, but appeared always thoughtful and in meditation. When he had reached the age of nineteen, he ran away from home, and after a week's search was found inside the walls of the Monastery. His friends expostulated with him, begged him for his good mother's sake to return home. Notwithstanding all the eloquent appeals of flesh and blood, he remained steadfast in his resolution to live and die a Trappist. He studied for the priesthood and was ordained at Antigonish 1870 by Bishop MacIntyre of Charlottetown. Fr. Stephen died on October 26, 1897, after having been unconscious for four days from a seizure of apoplexy. His genial disposition, his love and charity and his ever-cheerful advice and winning manner endeared him to every member of the community. (Cf. "Casket", Nov. 9th, 1897) 18. Brother James Landry, a native of Merland, N.S., who bled to death from a wound received while working at the saw mill. The following Trappists did not die at Petit Clairvaux, but laboured there for some time and then moved to Rhode Island. 5. Brother Richard Torpey, who died on July 30, 1940, at the age of 82 and after 63 years of devoted service in the Order. He was born at Afton in the parish of Tracadie, N.S., as the son of John Torpey and Johanna Grant. At the age of 19 he left his home at Afton the 1st of April 1877 , to enter the monastery of Petit Clairvaux where he spent 22 years. In 1900 he went with the rest of the community to Lonsdale, R.I. Both in Nova Scotia and In Rhode Island he acted as porter and guest master. His charming personality won him a host of friends. For many years he was also in charge of the flourishing poultry farm. During his last years he still made himself useful every day by preparing vegetables for the community cook. Brother Richard was the uncle of Most Reverend James Boyle, Bishop of Charlottetown, PEI. He lived to see "Our Lady of the Valley" transformed from a wilderness to the present beautiful and flourishing community. 6. Brother Anthony Chisholm, the last surviving Lay Brother of the seven pioneers from Nova Scotia at the "Valley", died in October 1943 in his seventy-first year. Ronald Chisholm was the son of James Chisholm and Margaret MacDonald and was born at Brierly Brook near Antigonish, N.S. on February 18, 1873. The future Brother Anthony spent the years of his early manhood in the stone quarries of New Hampshire. At the age of 25 he entered Petit Clairvaux as a postulant for the Lay Brotherhood and made his first vows on September 8, 1900. At the "Valley" Brother Anthony contributed his manly part to the exhausting labours of a new foundation. He aided in clearing the farm land, planting and harvesting the first crops, caring for the stock. He was blacksmith, machinist, plumber, baker and cook. When the monks put up a new wing for their monastery it was Brother Anthony who installed all the plumbing fixtures. He was excellent in all occupations, but, above all, he was a man of prayer. Though for the last three years he was allowed a room in the infirmary, he assisted at several Masses every day and often went out to work with the other Brothers. When a few months before his death the regular community cook took ill, the ailing Brother Anthony took over his work, serving a community twice as large as that for which he formerly cooked. (Cf. "Casket", Oct. 21, 1943)
