J. Alex Edmison Memories  [These items were shared with many of Alex Edmison's correspondents, and copies are in the Edmison fonds, one of the larger archival collections at the Trent Valley Archives at Fairview Heritage Centre. Alex Edmison was one of Canada's favourite after dinner speeches and his memories had charm. We plan often to share other memories and tales from his talented pen.]

The Jagship of the Trent [J. Alex Edmison comments that this item appeared in the Peterborough Review around 1914. "The reference to the Honourable James R. Stratton who died in 1916, caused a minor sensation at the time, and I remember the roars of laughter occasioned when read. I recollect seeing, years after, the yellowed clipping produced from wallets as a sure-fire conversation piece."]

 

Peterborough Protestant Home 1887 Jane Gifford Hall

[Editor's note: The following report, which appeared in the local newspaper, was glued into the minute books of the Peterborough Protestant Home. These records are in the Anson House fonds at the Trent Valley Archives, fonds 35. This report has very wide interest as it comments on several people, on funeral arrangements, on the handling of infectious disease, and on the importance of the fairly new Nicholls Hospital. The report was written by the secretary, Jane Gifford Hall, and covered the six months from March to September 1887. If you have information relating to any of the names mentioned in this report please inform the Trent Valley Ancestral Research committee or the editor.]
