A Founding Family in Haliburton plus Captain Frederick Peters VC

A Founding Family in Haliburton plus Captain Frederick Peters VC

Archibald and Margaret Burke 1860's settlers in Haliburton County plus Captain Frederick Peters - Canada's most decorated naval hero.

Show notes

This week, Kate talks about Archibald and Margaret Burke and their 13 children (phew) - another interesting story about 1860's settlers in Haliburton County. Plus, Paul talks about Captain Frederick Thornton Peters - Canada's most decorated naval hero with medals from both world wars - including the Victoria Cross. And a couple of updates on 2 earlier stories - the Great Stork Derby from Nov 12, 2021 and Lucy Maude Montgomery from Dec 10, 2021. It's six degrees of separation where Thomas Foster who wasn't involved in either story had a connection to both. Cryptic? Give a listen.
