Godfrey Rhodes & Lily Jamison Godfrey Rhodes 1850-1932 & Lily Jamison 1859-1939 Godfrey Rhodes is the second oldest of 9 children of Col William Rhodes and Anne Catherine Dunn. Godfrey married Lily Jamison, and they had one daughter Catherine Rhodes, who married Percival Tudor-Hart, an artist. Godfrey bought the estate Cataraquai in Sillery, Quebec City, in the early 1900's, located next door to his family home at Benmore. The story is that the estate was being auctioned by a friend of the family, and Godfrey had no plans to buy the place but placed a bid just to keep the bidding going. The family lived there until Catherine's death in 1972 (they had no children). It is now owned by the Quebec government. Catherine and PTH (as he was known) also built a summer house in Tadoussac in the early 1900's, still known as the Tudor-Hart house. Godfrey Rhodes est la deuxième plus ancien des neuf enfants de Col William Rhodes et Anne Catherine Dunn. Godfrey épousé Lily Jamison, et ils ont eu une fille Catherine Rhodes, qui a épousé Percival Tudor-Hart, un artiste. Godfrey achète le domaine Cataraquai à Sillery, Québec, dans le début des années 1900, situé à côté de sa maison familiale à Benmore. L'histoire, c'est que la propriété a été mis aux enchères par un ami de la famille, et Godfrey n'avait pas l'intention d'acheter, mais placé une enchère juste pour garder l'appel d'offres en cours. La famille y vécut jusqu'à la mort de Catherine en 1972 (ils n'avaient pas d'enfants). Il est maintenant la propriété du gouvernement du Québec. (les photos nécessaires!)

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

An incurable lover of boats, Robin became the second president of Canadian Heritage of Quebec Molson, Charles Robin Carington An incurable lover of boats, Robin became the second president of Canadian Heritage of Quebec Back to ALL Bios Charles ROBIN Carington Molson In the first summer of Robin’s life, he was taken to Tadoussac by his parents. His father, Jack, had suggested they bring their baby to Metis but his mother, Doris Carington (Smith), wanted to continue her family’s tradition. Doris won. As a young boy, Robin was drawn to the St. Lawrence and the Saguenay. He would sail with his friend Jimmy Williams in Tadoussac Bay in his “Empress of Tadoussac”, one fateful summer nearly drowning them both. After this misfortune, he developed a healthy respect for river currents, tides, and moods. His nickname became “Boat”, and for the remainder of his life he was known as “Boat Molson” by his Tadoussac friends. Robin’s life was a full one. His interests were widespread, his enthusiasms broad. From the time he was a schoolboy at Selwyn House in Montreal and through Bishop’s College School in Lennoxville he made friends easily, many of these friendships enduring until the end of his life. While a student at BCS, he was given special permission from his Housemaster Lewis Evans to have unlimited use of the workshop, where he built his dinghy. It helped enormously to have had Lewis as his next-door neighbor in Tadoussac! Other youthful adventures included bicycling in France, motorcycling in Norway, skiing in the Swiss Alps and even climbing the Matterhorn. Following his studies at McGill and the University of Oslo, Robin joined the Federal Department of Fisheries and was posted to St. John’s, Newfoundland, where he had his beloved sailboat “Sea Fever” built. He married Carolyn Strong in 1959, and five years later he was transferred to Ottawa, a little closer to Tadoussac. Now he was able to continue his family tradition by spending his summer holidays here with his young family. Retiring in the late 1980s due to the declining health of his father, Robin assumed the responsibility of the Canadian Heritage of Quebec, a charitable organization founded by his father and James Beattie in 1960. He spent the rest of his life devoted to its operations and principles. He put his father’s dreams into action, opening various sites as museums, galleries, and for summer rental. The Musee Maritime in Tadoussac (in which many of his own boat models are displayed) and the picnic site at Bon Desir (where he loved picking cranberries) were among his most favorite. New acquisitions were made with wisdom and discernment. During Robin’s seventeen years as President, he earned the esteem of his colleagues, the admiration of his partners in the field, and deep affection of the organization’s employees, volunteers, supporters and friends. He remained president until his death in 2005. Robin’s many lifelong interests included sailing, building model boats, photography, and astronomy. His numerous friends could always count on him to come through with every commitment he made. He was an attentive and faithful companion to many dogs, and in his family life, he was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. Above all, he was a man of compassion, patience, humility, and good humour. Tadoussac had a profound influence in Robin’s life. His happiness upon arriving here was heartfelt; his saddest days were those when he had to leave. Back to ALL Bios

A tireless volunteer, Tim was devoted to his family and to Tadoussac Ballantyne, Tim A tireless volunteer, Tim was devoted to his family and to Tadoussac Back to ALL Bios Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne (“Tim”) Mar. 19,1931 to Feb. 6, 2005 Tim was born in Montreal to Charles T. 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

Evans to Fitzmaurice Ancestry.com, Wikipedia, and a visit to the family ruins in Ireland! Warning - Contains obscure details of ancestors that may not even be yours NEXT PAGE This starts with someone we know, Thomas Frye Lewis Evans, the Dean, who was born in 1846 and came to Tadoussac to be our Protestant Minister from the 1890's until his death in 1919. He married twice, May Bethune (> Trevor Evans m Dorothy Rhodes > Phoebe Evans Skutezky & Ainslie Evans Stephen & Trevor Evans & Tim Evans> and then he married Emily Evans (> R Lewis Evans m Betty Morewood > Anne, Lewis, Tom, Alan Evans). Dean Lewis Evans' father was Francis Evans, born in 1803 in Ireland in the house shown here, which still exists. >>>>> Francis Evans came to Canada in about 1830 with his wife Maria Lewis, and had a parish in southern Ontario, near Simcoe. The Evans family came to Ireland from England in about 1600 (Robert Evans). Following a different line, I found other much older Irish ancestors. William Fitzmaurice 1633-1697 was the Baron of Kerry in Ireland, my 6-great grandfather (you have about 250 6-great grandparents) and he had a house that is now a very cool RUIN. Keep going, you're coming to the good part... So we're descended from all those Barons of Kerry through the FEMALE line All Daughters C Fitzmaurice Margery Cox Mary Gabbett Mary-Anne Thomas married Nicholas EVANS (Minor detail you can skip>> Unfortunately we jump out of the line just as they made it to EARL, Thomas Fitzmaurice in 1723 (he'd be my 5-great uncle). The Earls of Kerry seem to have moved back to England and have a pile in Wiltshire. Some have been british politicians including Lord Lansdowne who was GG of Canada 1883-1888 (a cousin!). Anyway in Wiki there's tons of stuff about all the Earls http://fitzmaurice.info/irish.html) The HOUSE, now a RUIN is in LIXNAW, Kerry, near Tralee, Ireland.

William Rhodes 1851-1921 & Caroline Hibler 1848-1929 William Rhodes is the third oldest of 9 children of Col William Rhodes and Anne Catherine Dunn. Their daughter is Carrie Rhodes, my grandmother. She married Frank Morewood, their children are Betty Evans (my mother, 1922-1993) and Bill Morewood (his family live in New Jersey). William Carrie was born in 1881 so this is about 1887, Carrie and her father This group photo (early 1890's) is on the Col. Rhodes/Anne Dunn page William isn't in it, but he was there that day, and had his picture taken below! He was probably the photographer. That's his daughter Carrie (right side) and just to her left, her future husband Frank Morewood (first cousins!). In the photo below William is missing his right arm-the story goes that he went to Australia on business, and wasn't heard from for a year, much to the concern of his family...he had lost his arm in an accident and didn't write home until he could write with his left! Carrie and her mother Caroline on the porch at Benmore about 1893, with sister-in-law Minnie Rhodes Morewood, and Isobel (Billy)and probably Frank. Caroline and William Rhodes and their daughter Carrie - William liked to have his picture taken from his left side so his missing arm wasn't visible.

Photos Historique Tadoussac 1860-1900 Tadoussac The oldest Photographs Les plus anciennes Photographies Photography was invented about 1839, and Tadoussac was a popular subject for well-know professional photographers such as William Notman (father and son) and Livernois from the 1860's. This page is a collection of the early photos, before personal cameras were invented (the first Kodak camera was 1888). The 1860's was a busy time in Tadoussac. The first summer residences were built in the early 1860's. The Tadoussac Hotel, the future Cid store, and the row of 5 houses on the main street were built in 1864. The Protestant Chapel was built in 1867. The old Hudson's Bay Post was on the lawn in front of the Hotel until 1870, which helps with figuring out the dates of the photos! Notice most of the trees have been cut all around Tadoussac!

Cette page est une collection des premières photos, avant l'invention des appareils photo personnels (le premier appareil photo Kodak date de 1888). Les années 1860 furent une période occupée à Tadoussac. Les premières résidences d'été ont été construites au début des années 1860. L'Hôtel Tadoussac, le futur magasin Cid, et la rangée de 5 maisons sur la rue principale ont été construits en 1864. La Chapelle protestante a été construite en 1867. L'ancien Poste de la Baie d'Hudson était sur la pelouse devant l'Hôtel jusqu'en 1870, ce qui aide à déterminer les dates des photos !

Il est arrivé à Québec où il a été immédiatement embauché par la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson. Son travail consistait à commander la goélette chargée de transporter les fourrures des différents postes de traite jusqu'à Tadoussac, et de livrer, en échange, des marchandises et des provisions. Il était également responsable de la surveillance du poste de traite ; c'est lui qui tirait le canon chaque fois qu'un bateau entrait dans le port. À la fermeture de la compagnie en 1859, il a décidé de rester à Tadoussac. Il y était déjà bien établi, car une partie du terrain entre l'hôtel et la cale sèche lui appartenait, qu'il partageait avec ses fils. Il a ensuite travaillé pour la compagnie Price comme pilote sur le Saguenay pendant une dizaine d'années. En 1864, il a participé à la construction de l'hôtel de Tadoussac et en 1866 à celle de la chapelle protestante. Joseph est considéré comme le pionnier de Tadoussac. Ses nombreux descendants peuplent le Québec et sont mêlés à presque toutes les familles de Tadoussac. LES VIEILLES FAMILLES DE TADOUSSAC, 1850-1950 Gaby Villeneuve Joseph Hovington, ancestor of all the Hovingtons of Quebec, was born in Durham, England in 1792. He arrived in Quebec City where he was immediately hired by the Hudson's Bay Company. His job consisted of commanding the schooner responsible for transporting furs from the various trading posts to Tadoussac, and delivering, in exchange, trade goods and supplies. He was also responsible for monitoring the Trading Post; it was he who fired the cannon each time a ship entered the port. When the company closed in 1859, he decided to stay in Tadoussac. He was already well established there, as part of the land between the hotel and the drydock was his property, which he shared with his sons. He then worked for the Price Company as a pilot on the Saguenay for about ten years. In 1864, he participated in the construction of the Tadoussac Hotel and in 1866 in the construction of the Protestant chapel. Joseph is considered the pioneer of Tadoussac. His numerous descendants populate Quebec and are intermingled with almost all of Tadoussac's families. One more house on the beach! Une maison de plus sur la plage !

The Anglican Dean of Montreal and the first of the Evans families to come to Tadoussac Evans, Thomas Frye Lewis, Marie Bethune, Emily Bethune & Cyril The Anglican Dean of Montreal and the first of the Evans families to come to Tadoussac Back to ALL Bios The Very Reverend Thomas Frye Lewis Evans 1846 – 1919 Marie Stewart (Bethune) 1850 – 1903 Emily Elizabeth (Bethune) 1866 – 1947 Cyril Lewis Evans 1882 – 1887 The Very Reverend Thomas Frye Lewis Evans served as a summer minister in Tadoussac for thirty-five years back between about 1884 and his death in 1919. He married Marie Stewart Bethune in 1874 and with her had five children, Basil (1873), Muriel (1877) Trevor (1879), Cyril (1882), and Ruby (1885). Little is known about Marie except that she was said to have been a lively and engaging woman and usually called May. She married Lewis Evans in 1873 at the age of twenty-three. She is named Maria in her birth record, and Marie in the marriage index, (and Marie on her plaque). Her full name was Maria Stewart Bethune, born in 1850, the second of four children (all girls) of Strachan Bethune (1821 - 1910) and Maria MacLean Phillips (1826 - 1901). She died in 1903 and is buried in The Mount Royal Cemetery. Included in that list of Marie’s children is Cyril who died at five years old. There is a small window in the back wall of the chapel that is dedicated to the memory of Cyril Lewis Evans. He died of hydrocephalus at the age of five. It is hard to imagine now how that tragedy played out, the little boy dying in 1887. Hydrocephalus (sometimes called water on the brain) can cause brain damage as a result of fluid buildup. This can lead to developmental, physical, and intellectual impairments caused by Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which flows through the brain and spinal cord under normal conditions. Under certain conditions, the amount of this fluid in the brain increases if there is a blockage that prevents it from flowing normally, or if the brain produces an excess amount of it. In the 1880s treatment for this condition was in its infancy, so it must have been a very difficult time for Cyril and his family. 6 After Marie’s death, the Dean married her cousin, Emily Elizabeth Bethune (1866 – 1947), and had one more child, Robert Lewis Evans (1911) when he was about sixty-five years old and Emily was forty-five. This family was not connected to any of the other summer cottage families until son Trevor, and later son Lewis married into the Rhodes family and both had cottages in Tadoussac. Dean Evans was the rector of St. Stephen's Church in Montreal, a church on Atwater Street, and stayed there for forty-six years. While there, he served as an Honourary Canon, Archdeacon, and then was named the fifth Dean of Montreal Diocese, but would only accept the position if he could stay at St. Stephen's and not move over to the Cathedral. In 1908 he was within a whisker of being elected Bishop. It was an actual split vote and they had to adjourn for three weeks to sort it out in typical Anglican political manoeuvring. They picked the other guy, John Craig Farthing. The Dean died in 1919. It is said that he had pneumonia, collapsed in the pulpit on a Sunday morning while delivering his sermon, and died a few days later. Very few of Dean Lewis Evans’s writings remain but it is clear from them that he was a devoted churchman and that he had worked hard to help in the development of the Anglican Diocese of Montreal. A school in the St. Henri district was named after him, and he was very insistent that all of the Anglican clergy should be able to speak French. In Tadoussac, he lived in what was then the furthest east Price house, the Beattie/Price house. It was built along with the other Price houses for the administrators of Price Brothers Lumber, but this one was lent to Dean Evans and he eventually acquired it by squatter’s rights. From him, it passed to his wife, Emily Elizabeth (Bethune) Evans, and then to their son, Lewis Evans, who sold it to James and Anne Beattie. The Dean had also owned a part of the tennis club property which he bought from the Price family, but he sold his portion to Jonathan Dwight and Mr Dwight sold it to the tennis club. Dean Evans was an avid fisherman and actually had built for himself a small log cabin about nine miles up the Saguenay on the west side of the river at a place called Cap à Jack. It seemed he needed a cottage to get away from his cottage! He had a little powerboat called Minota which he would take up there towing a couple of nor'shore canoes to fish out of. One of the local men, André Nicolas, in speaking about the Dean, said he had seen photos of the fishing camp on the website, tidesoftadoussac.com, that grandson Tom Evans set up. He said that where Lewis Evans had his camp was, and still is, the best place on the river to catch sea trout. It is interesting, a hundred years later, to hear a local fisherman say that the Dean got it right!

Avid sportsmen, Alfred, his brother, Sam, and their sister, Eliza, brought the Bailey family to Tadoussac Piddington, Alfred Avid sportsmen, Alfred, his brother, Sam, and their sister, Eliza, brought the Bailey family to Tadoussac Back to ALL Bios Alfred Piddington 1859 - 1922 Alfred Piddington was born on August 13th, in 1859. He came to Tadoussac originally because his sister, Eliza Ernestine Piddington and her husband, Dr. G. G. Gale of Quebec City, had been coming here since the 1880s, renting the old Ferguson house. It is believed that Alfred, and his brother Sam, both bachelors, came to Tadoussac to visit their sister, and fell in love with the area. The Piddington family originally came from the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. They immigrated to Quebec in the 19th century, and invested in companies like the Quebec-Lake St John Railroad, the Canadian Rubber company, Sun Life Insurance, the Royal Electric Company and the Quebec Steamship Company. In 1906, Sam and Alfred bought a house they called Hillcrest after the widow of the owner, Robert Powel, died in 1905. This house had originally been called Ivanhoe, and at this writing is known as the Bailey’s house. The Powels, from Philadelphia, had built the house in 1865 having obtained the land from Willis Russell of Quebec, both of whom were charter members of the St Marguerite Salmon Club. The Salmon Club, Hillcrest and the Protestant Chapel were built in the Gothic Revival architecture style, which was popular during the 1860’s in Canada. Sam and Alfred were avid sportsmen, enjoying fishing and hunting in particular. They made changes in the house that reflected these interests. For example, a wall was removed to create a large central room that would become a billiard room, and in that room, they mounted the spoils of their hunting trips, including a stuffed wooden duck, a brace of grouse, and a moose head. Other additions included a player piano and gothic-style chairs. Sometime between 1906 and 1914, Alfred went on to build what is now the Stephen-Skutezky house. After his death in 1922, it was passed on to Trevor Evans, and eventually his descendants. Alfred called this house Ivanhoe, the original name for Hillcrest. It’s interesting that many items in both houses are similar including furniture, a piano, a brace of grouse, and even a moose head on the wall. Many old family photographs show that the Piddingtons and the Gales enjoyed sailing on the yacht ‘Pirate’ and picnicking in various places up the Saguenay. Many pictures show them enjoying recreational activities on the Hillcrest lawn, which then extended to the Dufferin House property, where the school is today. They enjoyed lawn bowling, lawn tennis, cricket, croquet and horse back-riding. He even made a miniature golf course. The family still has a picture of Alfred Piddington playing golf in the early days of the Tadoussac Golf Club. In addition, their original guestbook records the names of many summer residents who attended elaborate tea parties at Hillcrest. Alfred’s brother, Sam Piddington, died in 1925 and left Hillcrest to his beloved niece, Ernestine Valiant Gale Bailey and it has been in the Bailey family ever since. Besides the memorial plaque in the Chapel, large cottonwood trees, unusual for this region and which are almost 100 years old, were planted in memory of Sam, Alfred, and Eliza Piddington, in front of Hillcrest, facing the bay.

Mary's mother died shortly after her birth and she and her sister Erie were brought up by their grandparents, Willis and Rebecca Russell, spending their summers in Spruce Cliff. Russell, Mary Frances Mary's mother died shortly after her birth and she and her sister Erie were brought up by their grandparents, Willis and Rebecca Russell, spending their summers in Spruce Cliff. Back to ALL Bios Mary Frances Russell Janes 1864 - 1915 Mary Frances Russell Janes’ mother was born in Franklin, New Hampshire in 1836, the daughter of Willis Russell and Rebecca Page (Sanborn). In 1843, when she was seven, Mary’s family relocated to Quebec City where her father, Willis, entered the hotel business. In 1858, Mary married a Scotsman, William Duthie Baxter Janes and they moved to Montreal. Their first daughter, Mary Frances Russell Janes (1860) died within a week of her birth, and their second daughter, Elizabeth Anne Leavitte Janes (1861) died at the age of one. Erie Russell Janes (1863) was the third daughter. She survived and thrived, as did her younger sister who was given the same name as the first child, and is the subject of this biography, Mary Frances Russell Janes (1864). In Willis Russell’s biography, it was mentioned that a doctor recommended sea air for Willis’s ailing daughter. His friend William Rhodes encouraged him to join him in Tadoussac, a plan that led to the construction of Spruce Cliff in 1861. It seems clear that Mary was that ailing daughter and sadly, tragedy struck one more time. In the days following this fourth daughter’s birth, Willis’s daughter, Mary, weakened and died in Quebec at the age of twenty-eight. She was buried in the family plot at Mount Hermon Cemetery in Quebec. The two surviving children, Erie and Mary, went to live with their grandparents, Willis and Rebecca, who had built Spruce Cliff as a place for their daughter to heal. One can only hope that after being left with two babies and enduring three family deaths in five years, the cottage helped to heal the whole family. Erie eventually married George de Guerry Languedoc and built Amberley Cottage in Languedoc Park. Mary never married and she continued to come to Tadoussac every summer to Spruce Cliff, staying with her grandparents until they died in the late 1880s, and then with her Uncle William and his three children. An old family letter reveals that she lived for a time with her sister, Erie, and her husband, George Languedoc, in Ottawa. Mary died in 1915 at the age of fifty-one. In the chapel, both the baptismal font and a wall plaque are given in memory of her fifty years of summer residency in Tadoussac. Back to ALL Bios
