Captain Henry Peel Givan & Anna Adelia Jones - Media
Henry, Anna and family were living here by 1901 when they appear on the census. Idlewylde, as can be seen, was an estate on the ocean in Shediac Cape. In the summers, it also functioned as a boarding house for young men from Boston providing potential suitors for the daughters.
