Remembering Edith Jane Catton Harrison

 A Collection of Stories, Memories, Photographs and More

Edith Catton, Norwich Ontario. May 1923 - November 2000

Introduction:

Edith lived in Norwich and Burgessville (five miles away, for a few yearly years as a young mother) for her entire life and raised five children (Liane, Dale, Gordon, Kim and Jane) between 1944 and 1954, all alive today in Ontario and Prince Edward Island.

Edith was a wife, mother, accomplished writer, painter, librarian, researcher and much more. 

[Her husband, Doug, was a father, Co-op employee, WWII Navy veteran and much more. A growing collection of materials related to Doug Harrison's Navy experiences, memoirs and personal stories is provided at "1,000 Men, 1,000 Stories"]

The stories, photographs, memories and anecdotes that follow will be a growing collection as well. Material provided by Edith's five children will serve in a small way to reflect ongoing love, gratitude, understanding and appreciation toward her.
