Cherry Valley District lost an aged and highly esteemed citizen by the passing away on Dec. 21st, of Mr. John Hayden in his ninety third year. Although of such an advance age, he was able to be about the house except for his last two or three days, and until less than a year ago, took an interest in what was going on about the place and went for walks about the farm. His hearing and eyesight were both good and he was always interested in the news of the day.
Throughout his life he resided on the property where he had been born, though a new house was erected on the homestead a few years ago*. He was always a most industrious and successful farmer and appreciated greatly the advantages of the modern machinery and electrical appliances in use on the farm now as compared with what was available in his early days.
His wife predeceased him in May 1939. They were fine types of christian people and esteemed members of the United Church. Mr. Hayden had the comfort of living to the last in his family circle where he was given the deepest of respect, care and affection. The household consisted latterly of his son Lewis, and Mrs. Hayden and two grandsons, George and William Hayden. The first mentioned grandson is at present stationed with the R.C.A.F. at Patricia Bay, B.C. The funeral service took place at the home on Dec. 23, and was very largely attended. It was conducted by Rev. A.S. Weir, who paid tribute to the good life and character of Mr. Hayden, and centered his remarks on the text from the 91st Psalm, "With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Mr. Hayden will long be remembered by the community where he spent his long, useful and neighbourly life.

14. DR. GEORGE JOSEPH4 TWEEDY (THOMAS3, THOMAS2, TWEEDY1)210 was born March 14, 1862 in Vernon River, Lot 50, PEI, and died July 20, 1951 in Winona, Winona County, Minnesota, USA211.

Member of Tweedy Clan finds Success in Minnesota – The Tweedy family on Prince Edward Island is a well-known well respected clan. In Winona, Minnesota some relocated members of this family have proven worthy of similar characterization.
A Winona newspaper has done a feature on Dr. George J. Tweedy, born on PEI in 1862 and his sons Robert and John. All three were instrumental in the field of medicine in that area from the 1890’s to the present.
Dr. George Tweedy left the Island for a medical degree at Trinity Medical College in Toronto and proceeded then to Aurora, South Dakota to practice medicine. At the end of one year he traveled to Europe for two years’ study, returned to the U., and and moved to Winona.
MARRIED IN 1904- Dr Tweedy married Wilhelmina P. Gerth in 1904. Their sons, Robert and John were delivered by the doctor.
"Bob and John heard many stories from their father as young boys- stories of babies being delivered at home and house calls made by horse and buggy in all kinds of weather and under all conditions. Impressed with their father’s work both boys elected to join the medical profession.
Dr. Robert B. Tweedy joined his father in practice in 1935 following post-graduate studies in medicine. They were accompanied by John in 1937.
John took six months training in anesthesiology prior to joining an Air Force hospital unit in Amarillo, Texas and left for service in 1942. After his discharge from the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1945 he rejoined his father and brother.
Dr. Robert and Dr. John Tweedy have continued, since their father’s death in 1952 to practice medicine in the same offices as their father began in 1893. Dr. Robert Tweedy and his wife have two children; Dr. John Tweedy and his wife have six.
Dr. George Tweedy’s family connection with Prince Edward Island remains strong. He was the son of Thomas Tweedy who lived in Vernon River and the uncle of now retired Supreme Court Justice George J. Tweedy.
Thomas Tweedy emigrated from Yorkshire, England to PEI about 1830 with two brothers and one sister. One of the brothers, Joseph, established a large farm in Gallas Point, PEI, a property still in the Tweedy name. Another brother George, resided in West Royalty and this farm is also still in the family’s care.
One sister, Ann, married John Hayden of Cherry Valley. The Haydens still carry on a large farming operation. And, the son of another brother, George, practices law in Alberton before the turn of this century and during the PEI fox boom of the 1920’s, purchased the home of the late Justice Fitzgerald and established a fox ranch.
