Notes

Letter of recommendation (original in possession of owner) respecting Minnie Hill was written by The Children's Aid Society of the County of Welland, Matron, Mrs. Levi Chambers, on 30 June 1936 as follows:
"To whom it may concern:-
Mrs. Victor Hill has been an employee of the County of Welland Children's Aid Society, for the past nine months in the capacity of Assistant Matron. We have found her honest and trustworthy, a good cook and economical in the kitchen. I have found her faithful to duty and willing and congenial to work with."

Information obtained from Dorothy Hardman and Edith Owlett: When Minnie and her family first arrived in Canada they took a house off of Davenport Road on Symington Avenue near the intersection with Lansdowne Avenue. Neither cousin was able to tell me just when Ada Jane "Lillian" moved with her new husband, Luke Owlett, to the property at 251 Silverthorne Avenue but they did recall that Minnie and Victor lived on Symington until their first daughter, Doris, was about 3 years old. At that time, sometime during 1920, Victor took a job as a stable hand at Havergall College for girls and moved his family out to Glengrove Avenue. The house number could not be remembered and the directions are a little hazy: "off Yonge Street, near Gray Road with Lawrence Avenue just behind them and Woburn in front of their house". It might be that Woburn formed a T-junction with Symington at their house or that the street names have been re-assigned since that time as, now, the only street with Glen as part of its' name that sits between Woburn Avenue and Lawrence Avenue West is Glengarry Avenue. From the Toronto house, of which I happened to have the antique main dining room fixture, the family moved to Wainfleet, Ontario, then to Silverdale, Effingham and finally into St. Catharines circa 1940. The family lived in Silverdale between 1931 and 1939, and in Effingham for a short time 1939-1940 before moving into St. Catharines.
