Sherbrooke a Century and a Half Ago: The Reminiscence of Mary Brooks Graves in 1901
|
| Abstract |
On February 18 and 20, 1901, the Sherbrooke Examiner published a descriptive and anecdotal survey of that city’s principal buildings and their proprietors during the 1850s. The author of the articles was Mary Brooks Graves, then a fifty-five year old woman living in Wichita, Kansas. Graves had left Sherbrooke for the United States with her family at the age of sixteen after her father’s business went bankrupt in 1860, but the two newspaper articles recall in vivid detail the city’s mid-nineteenth century middle-class anglophone area north of the Magog River bridge.
