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

A strong churchwoman and honoured volunteer, Jean spent much of her life bettering the lives of other people Aylan-Parker (Alexander) Jean Mary A strong churchwoman and honoured volunteer, Jean spent much of her life bettering the lives of other people Back to ALL Bios Jean Mary Aylan-Parker (nee Alexander) - 30 June, 1919 - 22 April, 2018 Jean was born at Bishopthorpe in Quebec City on 30 June, 1919. Her mother was Gertrude Alexander (nee Williams) and her Father was Brigadier General Ronald Okeden Alexander. Her grandfather, the Right Reverend Lennox Williams, 6th Anglican Bishop of Quebec, baptized her in the Tadoussac Chapel on 10 August, 1919. While growing up, since her father was in the military, Jean moved constantly. She lived in Kingston, Winnipeg, and Toronto. In Montreal she attended Trafalgar School and graduated at 16, and then a “finishing school”, where she studied business. Jean was a brilliant woman with many talents; and she didn’t waste any of them. Of course, in this day and age, she would have continued her education at college or university. Not in those days. One summer at Tadoussac while at Moulin a Baude for a picnic with Peggy Tindale, Billy Tindale and John Henderson, she was at the top of the waterfall to the east of the sand dunes. She slipped on a rock and over she went. She knocked out 5 teeth, broke her jaw, cracked her skull and had a few other sundry injuries. Since there was no medical staff in the town in those days, Jean was put aboard the Canada Steamship Cruise Line and taken up to Quebec City for repairs. She was probably one of the last debutantes of our society and, as was common at the time, one summer she toured Europe with her mother. She was also very proud of her Quebec heritage and spoke French fluently at various points in her life. Jean met John (Johnny) in the late 1930’s. Clive John Arthur Aylan-Parker was born in Lennoxville, Quebec on May 11, 1915. Upon graduating from Bishop’s University, he enlisted in the permanent forces of the Royal Canadian Regiment as a Lieutenant. Jean and John were married 18 November 1939 in Toronto by Bishop Williams just as the Second World War was beginning. At the time, if you were a military officer, and war broke out, your wife could accompany you. Consequently, as most women and children in England were crossing to Canada, Jean took a boat to England. Her first and second sons were born in England. Ronald Edward (March 28 1941) and James John (June 9, 1943). As the war was winding down, John suggested to Jean that she might want to go back to Canada before there was a huge rush when the war ended. Consequently, with the war still going on, and U-Boats in the Atlantic, Jean crossed the ocean with a 3-year-old, a 1-year-old and pregnant with a third and landed in Halifax. She then boarded a train (with the same 2 ½ children) and travelled right across Canada to stay with her mother and father, who just happened to live in Victoria, British Columbia. The third son, Edward Mears was born there on March 4, 1945. At the end of the war John joined Jean in Victoria and the group of five moved to Ontario. Jean was very artistic. She played the piano, sang in the church choir, was very good at sketching and was accomplished in needlework. One of the kneelers here in this chapel was done by Jean. Jean was blessed with a brilliant mind and a commitment to the betterment of society. Besides volunteering in her church and with Scouts Canada, she decided to learn Braille. Even though she was sighted, she became one of the leading transcribers for the CNIB. Besides books written in English, she also transcribed French, German and mathematics textbooks. Not stopping there, she began a group called the “Hand Highway” to support people with both a visual and hearing disability. She also precised in Braille, on a daily basis, a synopsis of the news garnered from the local newspaper. In recognition of these contributions, Jean was awarded the Arthur Napier Magill Distinguished Service Award in 1983. After Jean and John moved to St. Catharine’s in 1973, she also found time to volunteer at the local distress centre over a period of 11 years. Jean was honoured with the Mackenzie Chown-Robert Reinhart Award by the St. Catharine’s and District United Way for her distinguished service to the CNIB and the Distress Centre. Jean died on 22 April, 2018 in Hamilton, Ontario. She was predeceased by her husband, Major John Aylan-Parker, her brother-in-law, Edward Mears Aylan-Parker, her father, Brig. Gen. Ronald Okeden Alexander, her mother Gertrude Alexander (Williams) and her two brothers Flight Lieutenant James Okeden and Ronald Lennox. She leaves her eldest son, Ronald Edward Aylan-Parker (Barbara) of New Zealand, children Jennifer Jean, Jacqueline Beth and Alexandra Mary. Her second son, James John Aylan-Parker (Shirley) of Horseshoe Valley, Ontario, children Karen Michelle and Bradley James. And a third son Edward (Ted) and (Pamela) of Caledonia, Ontario, children Peter Edward and Christie Belle. She was also blessed with 14 great grandchildren. A memorial service was held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Caledonia, Ontario. Cremation took place and her ashes were interred in St. Catharine’s, Ontario beside her husband, John. “Rest well thou good and faithful servant.” Photos above Jean General Ron Alexander, Jim, Jean and Gertrude & ?

Third owner of Dufferin House who also bought Dale park, later to be called Parc Languedoc Dale, Henry & daughter Katrine Third owner of Dufferin House who also bought Dale park, later to be called Parc Languedoc Back to ALL Bios Henry Dale 1849 - 1910 & daughter Katrine Dale 1888 - 1905 Henry Dale was an American, born in Philadelphia, the son of Gerald Fitzgerald Dale (1816 – 1886) and a direct descendant of Governor Dale of Delaware. His mother was Elizabeth (Sparhawk) Dale (1820 – 1907). Henry married Elizabeth Ramsen Keroy and became the third owner of Dufferin House which he referred to as The Cottage. His gardens were above the house where the school now stands, and probably the stables were there also. He also owned land extending from the eastern boundary of Dwight Park out to Pointe Rouge, much of which is now known as Languedoc Park. (The stone gate in front of the Evans’ Windward Cottage was the original entrance to Dwight Park which extended up the hill to Languedoc Park.) The road into the park opposite the farm was known as Dale Road. Henry Dale had a carriage road going down to Pointe Rouge where, with horse and carriage, he is said to have circled the ‘fairy circle’ each morning and returned home for breakfast. While Henry owned the park, he planted alder bushes to prevent erosion and to provide shelter for other seedlings. After the tragic death of their daughter, Katrine, at age seventeen in 1905, the Dales stopped coming to Tadoussac and in 1911, a year after Henry’s death, his estate sold Dufferin House to Robert Harcourt Carington Smith. In 1920 Mrs Dale sold the land above Pointe Rouge for $1,400 to Erie Russell Janes (wife of George de Guerry Languedoc) who designed and built Amberley, the cottage later purchased by Adelaide Gomer of Ithaca, New York. Henry Dale died in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. in 1910. He was described in his obituary as a Philadelphia and New York businessman. He belonged to the Aldine and Lawyers’ Club of New York and of the Union League Club of Philadelphia. He died at his home which was called The Hemlocks.

David was a keen sportsman who loved Tadoussac LaForest, David Douglas - February 28, 1990 - April 19, 2009 David was a keen sportsman who loved Tadoussac Back to ALL Bios David was born in Toronto and resided there all his life, attending elementary and secondary school at John Ross Robertson and Crescent School until enrolling at Wilfrid Laurier University. He was a good student and had a passion for sports, especially rugby, which he played on high school, district, and university varsity teams. His family and his friends remember David for his affectionate nature, his wonderful sense of humour, his energy, and his sensitivity. The summer holiday in Tadoussac was a constant throughout David’s life. He always looked forward to the gathering of family, the reunion with old friends, and the special mix of activities and settings that happens here. He enjoyed the different houses the family rented during his earliest years and loved staying at Rivermead, the house his grandmother Barbara Campbell built, and which was completed the summer he was nine. David loved being with his friends, and whether it was a game of tennis at the club, yet another round of golf, or beach football during a Flat Rocks picnic, he always joined in with enthusiasm. He constantly pushed himself to improve. David left us at much too young an age, and the pain of losing him was very severe for his family. It was in Tadoussac, which meant so much to David, that his family found solace, among the community of friends in this very special place. Back to ALL Bios

Ballantyne and Rosalie J. Ballantyne. He was educated at Lower Canada College in Montreal and Bishop’s College School in Lennoxville. Tim attended university in Switzerland and at McGill in Montreal. Tim’s time in Tadoussac began in 1958 when he married Joan Williams whose family had summered in Tad for generations. Prior to meeting Joan, Tim was a loyal St. Andrew’s, New Brunswick, summer resident. As is no surprise to anyone, Tim was easily persuaded to spend his summer holidays in Tadoussac, and he joined Joan and their subsequent three children, Evan, Timothy, and Belle for a two-week vacation each year. Tim and the family enjoyed the ease and splendor of several summer homes in Tadoussac including The Barn, Tudor-Hart House, and Brynhyfryd. Tim, Joan and their children lived in Montreal, Canada until 1967. They moved to Scarsdale, New York, when Tim received a job transfer with Consolidated Bathurst Paper Company. Tim was a dedicated volunteer in his home community; he served for many years as the Captain of Scarsdale’s Volunteer Fire Company; he was a vestryman and eucharistic minister at the Church of St. James the Less. He coached school sports, was a troop leader for Boy Scouts, and taught Sunday school. When Tim chose to relax a bit, it was usually accompanied by something most people would find most unappealing, a WARM beer! Tim had an inviting and dazzling smile. He relished a keen wit, touched with sarcasm. Tim loved Tadoussac’s waters. For him, lake swims, a snorkel in the Saguenay, or a quick dip off Moulin Baude were all annual summer activities. The frigid temperatures never fazed him. When on land, Tim served the summertime population as Vice President of the Tadoussac Protestant Chapel. Tim was an avid reader who was especially drawn to historical works. When Tim became infirm, he could still be found in a cozy wicker chair or sunning himself outdoors accompanied by a book. Tim was often interrupted in his learned pursuits by his seven grandchildren romping about Brynhyfryd. Heather, William, Megan, David, Lauren, Timothy, and Trevor effortlessly caused Tim’s focus to waver! Tim is missed by his family and friends. Back to ALL Bios

She was born on Christmas Eve in 1902, and so was named Noeline. She strongly disliked her given name because she linked it to the children’s nursery rhyme “Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean”. Thus, due to her diminutive size, she came to be called Pixie. Pixie grew up in Montreal, attended King’s Hall, Compton, and then married Leonard Charles Dunlop Palmer (1898-1982). She and Leo moved to Ottawa in Rockcliffe Park and raised two children, George (1924-2019) and Linda born in 1930. Leo’s job with TWA involved taking care of visiting diplomats from around the world. Pixie was well-known in the Ottawa community as a gracious hostess and wonderful conversationalist. Her creative decorations for their annual Christmas party even made the Ottawa Citizen newspaper. Pixie was also a very accomplished seamstress. Once George was grown, and following his career in theatre, Pixie often helped sew the costumes for The Ottawa Little Theatre Productions. She and Leo travelled extensively throughout Europe. Pixie devoted her life to her family, supporting her husband in his career and then caring for Leo after he retired and when he suffered from PTSD due to his wartime experiences.
