Miss Davis' Academy
Hello,
I am writing from Winnipeg, and have been researching Miss Davis' Academy, which is now known as "Twin Oaks", located a short distance north of here, in the small town of "St. Andrew's". My question is, are there any descendants of those who attended Miss Davis' Academy on this board, and if so, could you help in finding out what type of needlework she taught to her students? In "The Road to the Rapids", it is briefly mentioned and described as nothing more then "plain and ornamental". Also, was there a sampler made? I have had zero success in finding answers to these questions, posed to various heritage organizations, our Provincial Archives, including a descendant of one of Miss Davis's students living in Calgary, and a relative of Miss Davis, in Winnipeg. There is nothing in our Legislative Library either. Thank you for your assistance! Margaret Smith http://www.angelfire.com/ca/heritageneedleworks/ |
