Donated to the Port Hope Archives in, 2003. Donor purchased the items from various sources to donate to the Port Hope Archives.
The Christmas card was sent by Elmo Watt of Port Hope in 1914. The card belonged to Miss Elizabeth Mary Shaw (1888-1983) of Bowmanville. Miss Shaw married David R. Morrison (1890-1958) of Bowmanville. Both are buried at the Bowmanville Union Cemetery. The card was in the possession of Mrs. Morrison's great nephew, Garfield Shaw of Mississauga, Ontario. Garfield Shaw indicated in correspondence with K. Taylor that his aunt was very active in Bowmanville musicals and events, often contributing as a piano player. He believes that is where she may have met Mr. Watt as a young, unmarried woman.
