Opis

Thomas and Maria Corbett had ten children who were all born in Fergus and Guelph, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada between the years of 1860 and 1876. One child, John did not survive infancy; Albina died at the age of 3 and Maud died at the age of 13. The surviving children would remember the farm their father farmed on or the hotels in Fergus that he ran. An older daughter, Anna would vividly remember her father as starting every morning while proprietor of the Queen's Arms Hotel as saying: "I woke up in the Queen's arms." These are the stories and biographies of good, decent, honest, hard-working, and at times humorous relatives. Some would also like to drink. It is to their memories that this work is lovingly dedicated.
