  About 1900, Fred Costello became a Manager with Allan Goodridge and Sons. Fred was from Ferryland where his family roots can be traced back to before 1800. In that same year, he married Bridget Sullivan of Caplin Bay and they bought a house at The Beach. This house had previously been owned by Peter Morry, who had just moved with his family to British Columbia. Three children were born to Fred and Bridget at Caplin Bay, but the eldest son Cyril, died there as a boy in 1916. In 1923, the family decided to emigrate to the United States but after staying for about six months, they returned to Caplin Bay in June 1924. Their only surviving son, William eventually returned to the United States in 1928 and lived there the rest of his life. Fred's wife died in 1938 and it appears that his daughter, Mary, who had married Gordon Johnston of Ferryland, came with her family to live with Fred at Calvert. For a while they offered their home as a boarding house but eventually all of the family moved to Ferryland where Fred died in 1963. The old house at Caplin Bay, which was used as a doctor's home and office for a while in the 1950s, eventually fell to disrepair and was torn down in the 1960s.
