UNKNOWN PAPER - 26 FEBRUARY 1957 MALCOLM MACKENZIE THOMPSON, Central New Annan's oldest resident, passed away early Tuesday morning, February 19, at Fraser Memorial Hospital, Tatamagouche, where he had been a patient for two weeks. A son of the late James and Christy Logan THOMPSON, he had spent his entire life in New Annan and was in his 90th year. Besides farming the old homestead during his lifetime he was a sawyer in saw mills in different parts of Cumberland, Colchester and Pictou Counties.
