degree in English and History, she
is presently teaching English and
History at the secondary level.
The topic, "The Gentle Women -
Pioneers in Upper Canada - 1800 to
1850" was an oral and slide
presentation. Kathryn during her
extensive travels in the British Isles
and North America has researched
the history of the life of some of
these women. Many of these
pioneers were "English Gentle
Women" who left home to explore
a new life in Canada. Most of them
were from the gentry class - small
landowners in the British Isles.
She told of their reasons for
coming to Canada and also of the
many hardships they endured, like
the boat trip, cold weather, building
cabins, clearing land, planting
crops and gardening. It usually took
about 10 years for them to get all
the stumps out, have the land
ploughed and have substantial
buildings. Many interesting life
stories were told about Catherine
Parr Trail, Suzanna Moody, Anne
Langton, Mary O'Brien, Frances
Stewart. They settled in Eastern
Ontario near Lakefield,
Peterborough, and Blythe on
Sturgeon Lake. Slides were shown
of their families homes and the
costumes worn. _
