- Campbell, Barbara (Bar) Alexander (Hampson) 1919 -
Coming to Tad in her teens, Bar found her future husband within minutes of her arrival! Campbell, Barbara (Bar) Alexander (Hampson) 1919 - Coming to Tad in her teens, Bar found her future husband within minutes of her arrival! Back to ALL Bios Barbara (Bar) Alexander Campbell (nee Hampson) – 1919 – Barbara was born in Montreal, January 21, 1919. She attended Trafalgar School and then Elmwood, in Ottawa. Her early summers were spent in Cap a l'Aigle where her parents, Greville and Winifred Hampson, rented a house. When she and her sister Mary were teenagers, they came to Tadoussac where they stayed in the hotel. On their first arrival aboard the Canada Steamship Lines ship, the usual gang of young people was waiting on the wharf to see who would get off. Among them were two boys who would become their future husbands: Jimmy Alexander and Ted Price. Barbara and her sister, Mary, and younger brother, John, joined the gang of young in all their fun of tennis, golf, picnics and bonfires on the beach: there was Nan Wallace (Leggat), Jackie Wallace, Billy Morewood and Betty Morewood (Evans), Jean Alexander (Aylan-Parker), Jimmy Alexander, Mary Fowler, John Turcot, Phoebe Evans (Skutezky), Ainslie Evans (Stephen), Dennis Stairs, Evan Price, Ted Price. In 1939, the war came, and everything changed. Bar sailed to England to marry Jimmy Alexander who had joined the RAF. Their son, Michael, was born there in 1940. As a pilot in RAF Bomber Command, Jimmy was posted to bases in England and Northern Ireland, and Bar and Michael joined him, living nearby. In August, 1941, Jimmy was killed leading a bombing raid over enemy factories. Bar returned to Canada in November, 1941, with Michael sailing in a convoy on a troop ship, the Uangibby Castle. The United States had not yet entered the war but the US Navy came to help and mistakenly rammed Bar’s ship. It survived, but Bar never forgave the Americans! In the summer of 1942, Bar returned to Tadoussac. She and Michael stayed at Brynhyfryd for the summers, and Bar spent time with many of her friends from before the war, including Betty and Lewis Evans at neighbouring Windward. In 1948, she married Alistair Campbell, a Scot who had immigrated to Canada at age 23, and joined the Sun Life Insurance Company. During the war he served in the Royal Canadian Artillery with his good friend Bob Leggat in the invasion of Sicily and Italy. Bar and Alistair lived in Montreal and later in Ottawa. Bar spent some time almost every summer in Tadoussac, bringing their daughters, Cathy, Barbara (LaForest) and Jill and later with her grandchildren. She was a keen tennis player and loved the Tadoussac Tennis Club. She painted, and some of her pictures of Tadoussac were turned into cards with her favourite poems. She also painted the wildflowers, and she and others in the community stitched these into needlepoints for kneelers in the Protestant Chapel. Bar had rented a house for years but always dreamed of having her own. When land in Languedoc Park became available, she designed her own Tadoussac cottage. It was completed for her 80th birthday and to celebrate she invited everyone in Tadoussac to join in one of her famous treasure hunts where teams traveled on foot to every corner of Tad and returned to her new home for a barbeque supper on the lawn and the treasure found in the “fairy circle” on Pointe Rouge. Bar continued to enjoy her house in Tad with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and her friends. She even came to ski one winter. As her health declined, she came less in her final years, but still she sang the old favourite songs and dreamed of happy times in the place she loved the most. Back to ALL Bios
- Price, Sir William & Amelia Blanche (Smith)
Born in Chile, Sir William and his brother Henry came to Canada to run the family's Price Brothers Lumber Price, Sir William & Amelia Blanche (Smith) Born in Chile, Sir William and his brother Henry came to Canada to run the family's Price Brothers Lumber Back to ALL Bios Sir William Price 1867-1924 & Amelia Blanche Carrington (Smith) 1863-1947 William Price was born in Talca Chile to Henry Ferrier Price 1833-1898 and Florence Stoker Rogerson. He was the eldest of seven children, two of whom died in infancy. His surviving siblings were Henry Edward (Harry), Arthur John, Terracita (Terry), and Florence (Flo). Amelia Blanche Carrington Smith was born in Quebec City to Robert Herbert Carrington Smith 1825-1898 and Amelia Jane LeMesurier 1832-1917. She had six brothers and one sister. The three original ‘Price Brothers’ of what would become the Price Brothers Pulp and Paper Company were William Evan, Evan John, and David Edward. All three were bachelors. Having no legitimate heir, they persuaded their brother Henry Ferrier and his family, then living in Chile, to return to Canada. Their eldest son, William, arrived in Canada in 1879. After one semester at Bishop’s College School, he was sent to St Mark’s in England where he completed his studies in 1886 and started his apprenticeship with Price Brothers. In 1899, with the death of the last surviving ‘Price Brother’, he became sole proprietor, president and managing director of the family business. William inherited a tottering empire, heavily indebted, technically in receivership -- more one of potential than actual wealth. In the first decade of the 20th century, William planned and built a large newsprint mill in the town of Kenogami. The Kenogami Mill, the most productive newsprint mill in the world at that time, began operations in 1912. William associated with James Buchanan Duke, the legendary North Carolina tobacco tycoon and Max Aitken (Lord Beaverbrook), helped with financing for the Kenogami Mill and the development of hydroelectric power with the Ille Maligne Dam and Power Plant in which he and Duke were partners. In 1884 William married Amelia Blanche Smith at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Quebec City. Three years his senior and a celebrated beauty, she would bear him eight children. The surviving six were John (Jack), Arthur Clifford (Coosie), Charles Edward, Willa (Glassco), Richard Harcourt (Dick) and Jean (Harvey). On August 7, 1914, William was asked, by the minister of the Militia, to build, in twenty days, a camp where troops could be assembled and trained. William shut down his establishments, moved his workforce to Valcartier, and built the camp on schedule. Quebec had been selected as the port of embarkation for the Canadian Expeditionary Force and William was appointed Director General of Embarkation. William was not a soldier. He had, however, joined Quebec’s militia 8th Royal Rifles and risen to Captain when he resigned in 1903. For his contribution to the War effort, William was knighted by King George V on January 1, 1915. On October 2nd, 1924, Sir William was taken down by a landslide on the Au Sable River behind the Kenogami Mill. His body was found ten days later in the Saguenay River at St. Fulgence. His grave lies at the end of Price Park in Kenogami on the point of a high cliff overlooking the confluence of the Au Sable and Saguenay Rivers where he lost his life. He would be pleased that the focus of the Sir William Price Museum in Kenogami is on the employees of the Company. He deeply appreciated their loyalty and work skills and touched their lives in ways their descendants remember fondly to this day. Sir William was foremost a family man, a patriot, an industrial visionary and a builder; amongst them, it is difficult to say which stood first. His wife did not share his fascination for a remote, largely wilderness area and his love of the outdoors and rarely came to the Saguenay/Lac St-Jean region. Nevertheless, he was a loving and inspirational father and nobody who knew him mentioned his name without talking of his affection for children. Along with his business, war efforts, political activities and sports William was President of the Quebec Harbour Commission in 1912 and Director of many companies including Union Bank, the Canadian General Electric Company, the Wayagamack Pulp and Paper Company Ltd., The Montreal Trust Company, The Quebec Railway, Light and Power Co., The Transcontinental Railway and the Prudential Trust Company. William’s first mention of Tadoussac is in a letter written during the summer of 1880 to his parents who were still in Chile. He tells of happy days spent in a canoe in the bay fishing for Tommy cod, perhaps hinting at the renowned salmon fisherman he would become. He did not spend much time in Tadoussac but he did acquire Fletcher Cottage, a lifelong source of pleasure for his wife. He also bought the Pilot House and the Harry Price House, which he gave to Harry for his family and as a place for their sister Terry to spend her summers. After Sir William’s untimely death Blanche moved from 145 Grande Allee to Ave de Bernier in Quebec City where she lived until her death in 1947. She was fortunate in her companion, Muriel Hudspeth, daughter of Dean Evans and his first wife. We are told Blanche was handsome and charming and though her memory faded her charm did not. During summers in Fletcher Cottage, her sister Edith (Edie) and brother Edmond were with her. Also in residence for the summer were many grandchildren - ten or more at times. By then she remembered only ‘long ago stories’ yet continued to extend a warm welcome and to look most elegant, dressed in black as she had since the death of her husband. She is buried in Mount Hermon Cemetery in Quebec City. Willa (Lal) Price Mundell From the Dictionary of Canadian Biography https://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/price_william_15E.html Back to ALL Bios

- Molson, Doris Amelia Carington (Smith) & Colin John (Jack) Grasset Molson
Jack and Doris loved history and did much to conserve properties and artefacts on the lower St. Lawrence Molson, Doris Amelia Carington (Smith) & Colin John (Jack) Grasset Molson Jack and Doris loved history and did much to conserve properties and artefacts on the lower St. Lawrence Back to ALL Bios Doris Amelia Carington (Smith) 1902 - 1975 & Colin John (Jack) Grasset Molson 1902 - 1997 C.J.G. “Jack” Molson was born in St. Thomas, Ontario to Mary Letitia Snider and Kenneth Molson. The family moved to Quebec City when Jack was two years old, where Kenneth worked as a manager for a branch of Molson’s Bank. During Jack’s childhood, he spent his summers with his grandparents (John Thomas Molson and Jenny Baker Butler) in Metis. He learned to play the violin as a boy, and for his high school years, he attended boarding school at Ashbury College in Rockcliffe Park, near Ottawa. He went on to study economics and accounting, and as a young man, he was hired by Coopers & Lybrand. Jack met Doris Amelia Carington Smith at a coming-out party aboard the HMS Hood, anchored in the Quebec harbour in August of 1924. (Built in 1922, it was the largest military vessel in the world at the time.) They fell in love and were married in Montmorency two years later. Born in York (Toronto) on October 15, 1902, Doris was the first of three children whose parents were Charles Carington Smith (a Quebec City banker and first-generation Canadian in a family from Hertfordshire) and Aileen Dawson. Aileen’s father, the renowned McGill scientist George Dudley Dawson, also had connections to Tadoussac in its earliest days as a summer resort. Doris was raised in a sprawling Victorian house built at the top of Montmorency Falls. She had two younger brothers Noel and Herbert, and a younger sister May. As a girl, Doris took up figure skating, swimming, and golfing, and pursued these sports into her adulthood. From the time of their wedding on, Jack would spend time with his family each summer in Tadoussac, where the Smiths had a summer home. Doris and Jack had two children: Robin, in 1929, and Verity in 1932. Jack owned a little wooden sailboat called Lilith but sold the vessel when the war started in 1939. He became Paymaster for the Black Watch in Montreal. He and Doris continued to come to Tadoussac with their children through the war years’ summers. After peace was declared in 1945, he bought land in Dwight Park and had a house built on it of his own design. Doris was small and spirited, bright and energetic, and devoted to her family and her friends. She always had a much-adored dog whom she would train to do extraordinary tricks. Doris was especially known for her warmth and sociability, her concern for others, and her love for Tadoussac. Here, in the 1950s and ‘60s, she hosted bread-making parties where bread would be baked in their iconic outdoor clay oven, and her cocktail parties were always lively occasions. Jack Molson continued to work as a chartered accountant in Montreal, while over the years his interest in Quebec’s history and heritage grew. He became one of the founders of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild and was one of the first to support the efforts of Inuit carvers and printmakers. In 1955 when Westmount’s Hurtubise House (built in 1714) was threatened with demolition, Jack mounted an effort to save the island’s oldest home. He persuaded his friend, James Beattie, and his aunt, Mabel Molson, to help him buy the house. In the next few years, he purchased two other properties, including natural sites in Gaspé that were vulnerable to commercial development. By 1960 the Canadian Heritage of Quebec was incorporated and had an active board of professionals as directors. The CHQ foundation, under Jack’s direction, would save the Simon Fraser House in Ste. Anne-de-Bellevue, the Laterriere Seigneurial Mill at Les Eboulements in the Charlevoix, as well as Les Rochers, Sir John A. Macdonald’s summer home in St. Patrick, and dozens of other heritage properties on both sides of the St. Lawrence River, including Bon Désir and Point à Boisvert on the north shore. Here in Tadoussac, Jack Molson and James Beattie purchased the Pilot House (a brick Molson-Beattie House located near Anse a l’Eau) with the intention of converting it into a museum. When historical fishing vessels and sailboats were donated to the CHQ foundation, Jack had barns erected on land behind the Pilot House in order to preserve them. He bought land above the sand dunes which he later donated to the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park and also the Hovington farm which is still active today overseen by the local Municipal Regional Council. He was also very supportive of the Tadoussac Protestant Chapel. In 1979 Jack Molson was awarded the Order of Canada for his dedication to historical preservation through the Canadian Heritage of Quebec. By then, he had long retired from his work in order to devote all of his time to the foundation. In spite of his remarkable vision of the future and all of his accomplishments, Jack was a modest man who shied away from personal publicity. His manner was unassuming, his personal life pared down to the essentials. One of the things he loved the most was a simple picnic on a St. Lawrence River beach with some boiled eggs and a cup of tea brewed in a billycan over a small fire. On more than one occasion he was known to have said to Doris, “This is a beautiful, unspoiled spot. It would be such a pity if someone decided to develop it. We should buy it.” Doris adored Tadoussac. Early every morning, weather permitting, she would go down the path in front of their cottage to the beach for a bracing swim in the bay. Later she would rouse up friends and neighbours for picnics, or Sunday evening bonfires on Indian Rock. She was also a mainstay of the Tadoussac Protestant Chapel, where, when she wasn’t playing the organ herself, she sat as close to the organist as possible so that her singing voice would give encouragement to the player. Her faith was strong. Had Doris been able to choose the manner of her passing, she may well have chosen to go the way she did. On July 14, 1975, she was enjoying a game of golf at the Tadoussac Golf Club with her best friends when she began to feel dizzy. She sat down; her heart failed; her friends gathered around her. She was seventy-two. Predeceased by Doris, and his daughter Verity in 1995, Jack Molson passed away peacefully after a long illness in 1997. He was ninety-five. Karen Molson Back to ALL Bios

Pearson School Board. Later on, she became a lay reader of the Anglican Church and as such sometimes took services at St. George’s Church, Ste Anne de Bellevue, at the Fulford Residence in Montreal and at Grace Church, L’Acadie. She also sat on many committees for the church including the Board of Directors of the Montreal Diocesan College. Ann was the cousin of Phoebe Skutezky and of Ainslie Stephen, and with Philip, was often invited to spend a week with them in their house at Tadoussac.
