• Notes

  July 1, thirty-four million people will celebrate Canada Day. 145 years ago, in 1867, the British North America Act went into effect, united the provinces of Canada (East and West), New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into a single country called Canada. Canada East and Canada West became the provinces of Québec and Ontario respectively. Although Canada had some autonomy, it was not until 1982 that the Constitution was patriated and they became fully autonomous, although they do remain a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. !NOTE: (following taken from paper written by Vernon Sherman, great grandson of Matilda) "Matilda Jane Fick weighed 95 lbs. and could stand upright under her husband's outstretched arm. She was a school teacher at Houghton Center Ontario for three years after her marriage. In her later years Matilda Jane had become far-sighted although she could still read without glasses. Her grand-daughter, Elizabeth recalled many times when she had seen Matilda jane, a little old woman, sitting hunched over a chair beside the box stove, during the long winter afternoons, reading from her Bible which was laying on the floor between her feet. Matilda died 15 December 1895, and was buried in the Baptist Cemetary on Lake Road less that a mile east of Hemlock near Houghton, Ontario. (5 infant great grandsons of Andrew Sherman are also buried there."
