After a pleasant spring trip to Toronto visiting friends, Mary with Hyacinthe returned home just in time. The youngest member of the family, 2 year old Doris Thelma (b December 15, 1908) developed a painful abscess on the neck in May 1910 and it had to be operated on quickly. Luckily it all went well. However, less than two weeks later, 15 year old Beatrice had an accident while going out to get the mail for her father's store when her horse, in wanting to run away, threw her out of the wagon fracturing her leg. At her youthful age, it wasn't long before she was back on her feet. Nineteen-ten included the first of Philip and Mary's children to have a wedding.

At a local party, often held by Rankin's in the centre of Falding, he lost it. With a bit of tongue in cheek, for everyone knew everyone, Philip made his 'dilemma' public (North Star December 29, 1910): Will the gentleman who took Mr. Philip Harrison's Christie hat by the mistake of his own on Tuesday night at the Forester's “At Home” in Rankin's Hall kindly look inside hat and he will notice the owner's name. Please return to Blackstone Lake and receive his …show more content…
All this war time activity reflected the Harrison's religious and spiritual faith being devout Baptists. The family held many successful prayer meetings in their home after the war with Philip eventually becoming an Honorary Deacon. When the war was clearly over, the Harrison's flourished from the various sources of income that Philip's strong work ethic had deservedly provided. His total take by 1920 was $1900/year a substantial amount for the time and region. With such success the family purchased, in the spring of 1921 their first car. Once Hyacinthe became of marriageable age i.e. 18, her whereabouts was noticed publicly by the North Star, even if the movement was the few kilometres to Rosseau Road or Parry Sound, along with her friends or not. So for example when she and four of her girlfriends headed down to 'sucker creek' by Black Road on Saturday May 11th, 1918 the ever suspicious newspaper only wanting to mention two names recorded (issues for May 16 and May 23,

In A Home Is Not a House, Reyner Banham starts by arguing that the main function of the typic American house is to cover its mechanical structure. In fact, he states that the use of mechanical services in architectural practice varies constantly because mechanical services are considered to be new in the profession, as well as, a cultural threat to the architect’s position in the world. To show his argument, Banham states that American houses are basically large single spaces divided by partitions inside that give a relative importance to the use of internal mechanical services, causing a threat to the need of architectural design. Similarly, American cultural characteristics, like cleanliness and hygiene, also foster the use and need of mechanical
I sometimes tell about my son-in-law, Buddy Harrison, who at one time had a problem with yielding to evil spirits. Today Reverend Harrison is the founding pastor of Faith Christian Fellowship in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and he is also president of Harrison House Publishers. But in 1963, he had problems.
Miss Lottie’s old house symbolizes the deterioration of the entire nation during the Great Depression while the marigolds she plants represent hope in the face of despair. In detail, having Joey deciding to go to Miss Lottie’s house, Lizabeth describes the house as “...the most ramshackle of all [the] ramshackle homes.” (257). During the Great Depression, everyone has many money problems. So the fact that Miss Lottie’s house isn’t the best of all of the houses, shows how the Great Depression causes hardships. The Great Depression makes it so that the nation suffers in an ongoing poverty, which is why Miss Lottie’s house is very much broken. Furthermore, Lizabeth continues to describe the house when she states “a brisk wind might have blown it down… There it stood...a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no

On the 3rd of July, Martha took note of the boy again in her diary and by the 6th, Hannah had developed a sore throat. She remained unwell until the 10th, during which time her sister visited and by the 25th was dead.

As an assistant to Martha, she often went around the town, which on the 2nd included seeing the Sewal’s who were
Mary Ellen Wilson was born in 1864 to Francis and Thomas Wilson of New York City. Soon thereafter, Thomas died, and his widow took a job. No longer able to stay at home and care for her infant daughter, Francis boarded Mary Ellen (a common practice at the time) with a woman named Mary Score.

The book Fever 1793 is about a girl named Matilda. She and her mother lived alone above a coffee house in Philadelphia. A lot of people in the city were dying from a horrible disease called yellow fever. Matilda's mother runs the coffee house.

Caroline Louisa Whitby, aged 22, went to join the Lord’s angels in Heaven last night at the Los Gatos Ranch, Soledad. Born August 16th 1909, to Harold and Elizabeth Banningsley, in Northern Salinas Mrs. Whitby was a loving daughter, sister and wife and was adored by all who knew her. Elder sister to Lucy, Caroline grew up mature and compassionate, and these were defining factors in her husband Curley Whitby falling in love with her.
In Wordsworth’s Preface to Lyrical Ballads, he writes, “I have wished to keep my reader in the company of flesh and blood, persuaded that by so doing I shall interest him” (297). With this assertion, Wordsworth highlights his desire that readers of his poetry respond with sentiment when presented with genuine, unembellished characters. His attempts to prove this claim can be seen in the poems Michael and The Ruined Cottage. Observing how the two poems handle certain rhetorical devices—a frame of narration, personification of nature, meditation on ordinary objects, and Biblical allusion—reveals their intended purpose as promotions of empathy. Discerning the similarities and differences between Michael and The Ruined Cottage allows the moral lessons within Wordsworth’s poetic experimentation to be uncovered.
A month later, Fanny Imlay, Mary’s sister, committed suicide by overdosing on drugs. Around that same time, Percy’s first wife, Harriet also killed herself. The couple didn’t show grief, they saw that as an opportunity to get married. They got married December 30, 1816. Percy was unable to keep custody of the children from his previous marriage. He and Mary tried to have kids of their own, but it seemed to fail every time. They had a daughter named Clara, but she died after her first birthday of dysentery. They tried again, this time they had a son, but he died of malaria in 1815. Mary also had a miscarriage that she nearly died from. Their only surviving child was Percy Florence who was born in 1819. A few years later, the marriage ended because of Percy’s death in 1822. Percy drowned in a storm sailing on the Gulf of Sperzia.
