Looking for descendants of this Gays River family. Believe this to be the family that took in a MIddlemore Home boy in 1901 -- Edwin Chamberlain, born May 16, 1892 Winson Green, Birmingham, England.

Obit 1949
Funeral Service Largely Attended
Gay's River, Nov 13 - The funeral of Samuel George McMichael, aged 81 years, took place from his home here last Tuesday. The service was largely attended.
Mr. McMicheall's death, which came after a brief illness was a shock to the community of which he was a life-long resident and one of the most successful and prosperous farmers.
He was born at Gay's River May 1, 1868 and in 1902 married Eva Ford of Centre Burlington, Hants County.
He was a member of the Gay's River United Church and took an active interest in its affairs. He was appointed Magistrate in 1910. He was a staunch Liberal all his life and in his passing the party lost one of its most active supporters.
He leaves to mourn his wife, one daughter, Lucy Mary at home; one son, Austin Samuel and five grandchildren of Halifax; one brother, Arthur J. of Fort Worth, Texas.
Interment was at Gay's River Cemetery with Rev. M. Nicholson officiating.

It is my understanding that Austen Samuel McMichael lived in Halifax in 1949 and passed away in 1986. His son, George Austen McMichael born 1942 died 1995. All three, son, father and grandfather are buried in Gays River United Church Cemetery. Gays River, Colchester County, NS.

Any help contacting living members of the family or someone who has researched this family would be great.
