    Biographical history

    Zepha Trevorrow (née Vincent) (1868-1945) was a resident of Denver, Colorado, USA. She married Edwin Trevorrow in 1904 in Denver. They had a daughter named Virginia. A prospector, Edwin travelled through Northern Ontario in 1911.

    Custodial history

    Scope and content

    The Zepha Trevorrow fonds consists of 15 postcards and two letters that Ed Trevorrow sent to his wife, Zepha, while in Northern Ontario in 1911. The fonds gives insight into the life of a gold prospector in Northern Ontario in the early 1900s. Indeed, not only does Ed Trevorrow report of his gold prospecting to his wife, but the correspondence also accounts for the different locations visited between July 10 and August 15, 1911.

    Although Trevorrow travelled between Timmins and North Bay, and even on the Québec side of the region of Temiscaming, the images of the postcards mostly depict the South Porcupine 1911 fire, and early mine settlements of the same area.
