William Kiely Jr. 

 

William Kiely Jr. is the son of William Kiely Sr. and Ann Kiely. He grew up their farm in Tracadie, Prince Edward Island. He helped his dad farm their potatoes until he was old enough to live on his own. He lived in P.E.I until the end of his life. William Jr. was not interested in farming so he worked for the Canadian Pacific Railroad. He layed railroad tracks all across P.E.I. Then he married Mary Arbring. They had three kids named John, Ann, and Susan. When Ann and Susan grew up they moved to Boston, Massachusetts because they knew they could get a good job down there. When William Jr. was getting old he moved down to Boston to be near his daughters so they could take care of him. After a couple years, he passed away.
