“Why didn't we talk to Grandpa and ask him more stories about his life? He was born in 1900 and he died in 1993: all the changes he lived through!”
Interview with Patti Enright
October 3, 2012
Patti Enright shows Jo Stanbridge a group studio portrait, circa 1916, of her grandfather Samuel Elwood Wright (aged about 16 or 17), along with one of his brothers, two friends and Blackie the dog.
She talks about Samuel, his youth and later years, and how his immediate family came to move from their farm north of Bowmanville, Ontario to Belleville, and how he married Helen Bizeau of Trenton at St Mary's Cathedral in Kingston.
