Frank Gallant was born in September 1864 in Tignish, PEI and is the son of Napoleon and Catherine (Clark) Gallant. He had five brothers and three sisters and two died in infancy; he was a fisherman, factory work and farmer. He also helped haul boats across Northumberland Strait in the winter. Frank also did some trapping and would skin foxes and other animals for people. He also soldered can goods for the neighbours and the factories. He loved to play cards and work crossword puzzles and was called a problem solver.

Frances McIver (Fanny) was born in Newton, PEI in July of 1860. She attended school there then went to college for her license as a teacher. Fanny graduated in 1878. It was while she was teaching in Tignish that she met and married Frank Gallant in 1890.

From this union there were ten children born. The first two were twins who died and were buried in Tignish. Four more children were born in Tignish. Frank and Fanny sold their farm and moved to Newton where four more children were born.

Fanny didn't have time for teaching with children to look after and farm work to be done. She was always willing to give a helping hand whenever needed. She loved to sew, hook mats and knit.

Frank and Fanny sold their farm in Newton and moved to Kinkora where they lived until Frank's death in July, 1942. Fanny then moved in with her son, John C., his wife, Lena and family. She lived with them until her death in January, 1952 and was missed by all.
