Administrative history
Farmer, merchant, and lumberman John Eakin McAuley, the son of Lucy Patterson (d. 1918) and William McAuley, Jr. (d. 1903), was born in 1857 at Waterford, Kings County, New Brunswick. On 22 August 1882 he married Sarah Patterson (1863-1930) of the parish of Waterford, and they had no fewer than 6 children: Alberta May (b. 1884), Lucy Jane (b. 1886), Thomas Samuel (b. 1893), W. Walter (1890-1989), Sadie Annie (b. 1895), and John Leonard (b. 1898). Following Sarah's death in 1930, he married Jennie B. who survived him.
The McAuleys resided at Lower Millstream, Kings County where John E. operated a farm, a lumbering business, and a general store, The store, which sold dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, and lumber, had opened prior to 1893. Sometime after 1906, J. E. McAuley's son, Walter, joined him in the business under the name J. E. McAuley & Co. The store was still operating when J. E. McAuley died on 1 November 1932. The business was eventually taken over by Walter McAuley and continued under the name McAuley & McKnight.
