J.E. Maddigan (1871-1947)
Jane Egan, born Sarah Joanna McDonald on 24 June 1871 to Mary McDonald. She was registered as an illegitimate child, but the father was listed as James Egan, a blockmaker and tanner who had been born in Newfoundland. By July 9, 1871, Janie was baptised in the Roman Catholic church as Sarah Joanna Egan in Fort Augustus, PEI, (however she was always referred to as Jane/Janie throughout her life). Although we have been unable to locate a marriage certificate, it appears that Mary and James married sometime between the birth of Jane and her baptism, allowing her to be baptised in the church with James’ last name.
Jane was the oldest child of James and Mary, and she had at least eight younger siblings: Mary Helen (b. 21 Feb 1875), Frederick Louis (b. 26 April 1879), James Alfred (b. 9 April 1881), Joseph (b. 15 July 1883), Daniel Francis (b. 7 July 1885), William Patrick (b. 28 June 1888), Annie (b. 19 July 1890) and Catherine/Katie (b. 14 February 1893).
On 23 February 1914 Janie Egan married the widowed Richard Maddigan. Richard was a grocer and wholesaler of PEI postcards. His store, Maddigan, R. F. & Co., was located at 79 Queen Street, in Charlottetown.
The wedding announcement in the Charlottetown Guardian (24 Feb 1914, p.4) reads:
WEDDING BELLS- Every seat in the chapel of Notre Dame Academy, which was made all the more magnificent by the exquisite electrical illumination, was filled last evening for the marriage of Miss Jane Egan, Fitzroy Street, to Mr. R.F. Maddigan, Grocer, Charlottetown. At 7:30 o'clock the bride entered the chapel, on the arm of her brother Mr. Alfred Egan, of the P.E.I.R while the strains of the wedding march were played by the organist of the Convent Choir. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Katherine Egan and the groom was supported by Mr. Ambrose Hennessey. Father Pius McDonald, Spiritual Director of the Children of Mary Society, to which the bride belongs, and of the League of the Cross Society of which the groom is a member, was the officiating clergyman and united the contracting parties for life by the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the excellent Convent Choir sang beautifully the “the Star of the Sea.” After receiving the congratulations of the large host of friends present, the bride and groom, with the other members of the bridal party and some immediate friends repaired to the dining-room of the Academy, where a delightful repast was served. The wedding couple left by the train last night for Georgetown, en route to the mainland on a wedding trip. The Guardian joins with the many friends in wishing the happy couple a happy and prosperous wedded life.
Janie became the step-mother to Richard’s four children: John Wilfred, (b. 24 June 1899), Vernon Francis (b. 2 May 1902), Gerald Joseph (b. 12 May 1904), Mary Camilla (b. 2 Nov 1905). The children would have been between the ages of 8 and 14 when Janie married their father. By the 1921 Census they were all living together at 125 Pownal St., Charlottetown.
The UPEI book, Encyclopaedia of Etiquette. What to Do. What to Say. What to Write. What to Wear. A Book of Manners for Everyday Use. Volume 1, written by Emily Holt, published in 1921, is signed, twice: “J.E. Maddigan, 125 Pownal St., City.”
Richard died on 24 February 1928 the day after their 14th wedding anniversary. After her husband's death, Mary stayed at 125 Pownal Street. On 5 January 1935 Janie's mother, Mary Egan, died at the residence, although we are uncertain whether she was living with her daughter or just visiting. The funeral took place at 125 Pownal followed by a mass at St. Dunstan's Basilica.
Janie, herself, died on 21 March 1947, in the family home. Eight days later a notice of sale went into the newspaper for the Maddigan home at 125 Pownal Street, by Janie’s step-daughter Mary Camilla Maddigan.

James B. Brow (1898-1977)
James Barrett Brow was born on 1 July 1898 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. He was the son of Edith and Ephraim Riggs Brow. He had an older brother, George Raymond Brow, and a sister, Edith Bernice Brow (Nan), who remained a spinster and lived with her brother, in Charlottetown, well into their senior years. In fact they can both be found in the Canada Voter's List for 1974, living at 80 McGill Avenue in Charlottetown PEI.
All three siblings were highly educated. Oldest child, G. Raymond Brow, studied medicine at McGill University. He eventually became physician to Canada's Prime Minister, William Lyon MacKenzie King, and a professor of medicine at McGill University.
Nan studied Art at the New York School of Fine Art in Paris, France (Charlottetown Guardian, 1 March 1926, p.5).
James studied Engineering at McGill University, in Montreal. In the 1921-22 school year he was a graduate student and was awarded the Harrington Research Fellow in the Department of Mining Engineering.
In the 12 May 1921 edition of the Charlottetown Guardian the following announcement occurred:
Successful P.E.I. Student
The results of the examinations at McGill show that Mr. James Barrett Brow, of Charlottetown, passed in mining engineering, winning honours in Ore Deposits and Economic Geology.
He returned to PEI directly after graduation and became a substitute teacher at the Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown.
The December 1923 edition of College Times (page 7) reads:
During Professor Bennett’s absence, Mr. James Brow has conducted the classes in Physics in a clear and precise manner. Mr. Brow is a graduate in Engineering of McGill University, and it is indeed fortunate that such an excellent instructor was available. Mr. Brow has already made himself popular with all his classes.
The following year James Brow ceased to be a substitute teacher and was hired in a permanent position.
There is a clever little story about James, as a teacher, in the College Times, December 1931:
Professor Brow had been delivering a lecture on the value of being observant. He then asked several members of the class if they knew how many steps there were at the front entrance to the College building. Nobody knew. Mr. Brow then said, “You have been coming in and going out of this building for several weeks and haven’t yet noticed those steps. You better keep awake or you will break your neck on them someday”. One ambitious youth ventured, “How many are there, Sir?” Mr. Brow: “Well- er- I don’t know!"
By the early 1950’s James, still a professor of physics, was also the Vice Principal of the College. He was also known to have an outstanding knowledge of horticulture.
James Barrett Brow died in 1977 and is buried at St. Peter’s Cathedral Cemetery in Charlottetown.
UPEI Provenance Collection holds three of Professor Brow's books, Traverse Tables: For the Use of Surveyors and Engineersby Richard Lloyd Gurden, and A Short History of Atomism by J.G. Gregory. Both are signed “Jas. B. Brow" with the second dated July 1931. Also the book, The Newer Alchemy by Lord Rutherford is signed “J. B. Brow".

James B. Dollard

James B. Dollard (1872-1946)
The known poet-priest from Kilkenny, Ireland, James Bernard Dollard was born in 1872 to Michael and Anastasia (Quinn) Dollard. Many researchers have indicated that his birthday falls on 30 August 1872, but according to the record, Ireland Select Births and Baptisms, 1620-1911, James was born on 20 Oct 1872 in Kilkenny. Census records suggest August, so this date of October 20th could indicate the date of his baptism and not his birth.
James studied Classics at Kilkenny College and then sailed for New Brunswick, Canada, in 1890. James’ great uncle The Right Reverend William Dollard, was the the first Bishop of the Catholic Church in New Brunswick, a likely reason for James to choose Canada.
The year after his arrival, James can be found in the 1891 Canadian Census, living in St. Stephen, New Brunswick. He was listed as a lodger along with his brother, 29 year old priest, William Dollard. James’ stay in New Brunswick may have been brief as he moved to Montreal to study at the Grand Seminary. This was followed by his attendance at Laval University, where he received the degrees of Bachelor of Theology and Bachelor of Canon Law.
In December 1896, James was ordained to the priesthood. He served as a curate in Toronto, and then became a parish priest in Uptergrove, Ontario before he became the parish priest of St. Monica's Church, in North Toronto.
James also wrote poetry, drama, and short stories, (sometimes under the pseudonym Slieve-na-Mon) including Irish Mist and Sunshine, Poems, Clontarf, and The Gaels of Moondharrig. UPEI’s Provenance Collection copy of Irish Lyrics and Ballads, written by Dollard, was published in 1917. The inscription within the book reads:
To Monsignor Francis Clement Kelley PA D.W. From his friend James B. Dallord Toronto Canada July 18 1918
James was a member of the Poetry Society of America and the Arts and Letters Club, in Toronto. In 1916, James received the honorary degree of Litt.D from Laval University.
The Canadian Census indicates that James lived with his two older sisters, Anastasia and Nora Mary, first at 44 Broadway Street, Toronto, in 1911, and then at 1 Ward St., Toronto, in 1921. Anastasia emigrated to Canada in 1899, Nora Mary emigrated in 1908 or 1910 (discrepancy found in Census records).
The poet-priest, Father James B. Dollard, died on 28 April 1946 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

James Louis Broydrick (1843-1872)
James Louis Broydrick was born in 1843 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. There is not much known about James’ patrilineage or his life as a child. He did attended Catholic School as a young boy and then matriculated to St. Dunstan’s College from 1859-1865. After his time at SDC, he went to the Grand Seminary in Montreal and was ordained on 11 June 1870, by Bishop Bourget.
Afterwards, he returned to Charlottetown to assist Dr. MacDonald at the Cathedral of Charlottetown.
James’ role as a priest quickly came to an end when he came down with an illness in 1871. He battled this illness for well over a year when he passed away on 15 April 1872, not yet reaching 30 years of age. A quote from Rev. J. C. MacMillan’s book, The Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island from 1835 to 1891 describes Broydrick’s final moments:
in the prime and vigor of his early manhood, he died surrounded by the pious ministratious of kind friends in the home of a relative in Baltimore (pg. 298).
A passenger list, from the ship Alhambra, indicates that James had arrived in Baltimore on 9 December 1871.
James was buried under the sanctuary of St. Dunstan's Cathedral, along with three other priests: Father Charles McDonell, Father Mathurin Dubareuil, and Bishop Angus McDonald.
Inside UPEI’s Provenance Collection book, The Bucolicks of Virgil by John Martyn, James had inscribed his signature with “no. 4” under it.

James Mavor

James Mavor (1854-1925)
James Mavor was born 8 December 1854 in Stranraer, Scotland to Rev. James Mavor and Mary Ann Taylor Birdie. He had at least seven siblings: four brothers and three sisters, Henry, Ivan, Isabella, Samuel, Alfred, Mary Amie, and Jessie.
As a result of James being the oldest, he was encouraged to leave school early to work. He became an apprentice to a drysalter in 1868 but he continued his education by taking evening classes at the Andersonian Institution. He would begin classes at the University of Glasgow in 1874, but his education came to a halt in 1876, when he came down with typhoid fever. He never returned to finish his degree. His shortcomings with his education did not stop him from creating “an eclectic career for himself in Glasgow as a businessman, teacher, editor, and social reformer.” (Panayotidis 2003).
Before he came to Canada, James was the editor of the Scottish Art Review and a lecturer at St. Mungo’s College, the University of Glasgow, and the University of Edinburgh.
He married Christina Jane Watt on 16 January 1883 and they had three children: James (1884), Dora (1889), and Wilfred (1894), all born in Glasgow, Scotland.
James had a deep concern for the Glaswegian poor and his interest in them led to his sympathizing with the socialist movement. He became involved in several socialist organizations: the Fabian Society, the Social Democratic Federation, and the Socialist League. James was one of the men who signed the founding Manifesto of the Socialist League in December 1884. James believed that by understanding the political economy, you could further social progress. Both his disagreement for the way the groups were conducted and his own approach to economics, James left the Socialist League in 1886.
In 1892, James became the chair of the political science department at the University of Toronto. Passenger records indicate he was aboard the Furnessia, which departed from Glasgow, Scotland and arrived on 24 October 1892, in New York, New York. His family would follow him to Toronto four years later, in 1898.
During James’ time at the University of Toronto, he would be critical in modernizing the department, started the process of creating different streams of study for commerce and finance, and laid the intellectual groundwork for sociology and social work.
During his time in Canada, he wrote government reports on a variety of topics, including hydroelectric power, immigration, wheat production and worker's compensation. His most prominent academic publications were the books Economic History and Theory published in 1889, An Economic History of Russia, published in 1914.
James was also heavily involved in the settling of the Doukhobors in Western Canada. In August 1898, Prince Kropotkin asked James to become involved with the plight of the Doukhobors. From the first Doukhobors settlers in 1899 and until his death in 1925, James would continuously play an active role in their Canadian settlement.
James' book, An Economic History of Russia, is said to be influenced by his friendship with Leo Tolstoy, whom he wrote extensively about it in his autobiography My Windows on the Street of the World (There is a copy of this book in the Robertson Library's Collection.)
Not only involved in politics and the economy, James was also well known in the artistic world of Toronto. He helped establish the Toronto Art Gallery and the Royal Ontario Museum.
A description of James and his personality can be found in an article in the Smithsonian Institution Archives, where he is described as a “a great talker" with “unflagging mental vitality". One of his University of Toronto colleagues, G.I.H. Lloyd, said:
“The awe which he inspired in his students quickly melted at his fireside... [because] the shrewd and twinkling eyes [and] the comfortable cigar puffing over the chess-board corrected the severity of the sage-like beard.”
James would receive an honorary Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1912. He retired in 1923 with the title Professor Emeritus.
James travelled extensively throughout his life, but when he went to visit friends in France on 19 October 1925, it would be his last voyage. He died in Glasgow, Scotland, on 31 October 1925.
The UPEI Provenance Collection book, Wisdom of Life by Schopenhauer and translated by T. Bailey Saunders, includes the bookplate of James Mavor. The bookplate quotes Ecclesiastes 12:12, “Much reading is a weariness of the flesh" and shows a man asleep in his library, books scattered at his feet. Above the man's head is a plaque that reads “Ex Libris James Mavor".

James Robertson Burnett (1871-1952)
James Robertson Burnett was born in 1871, in Aberdeen, Scotland. He would begin his career as a reporter for his hometown paper, and later became the editor of The Dalkeith Advertiser, another Scottish newspaper. By 1900, James became an assistant editor of The Weekly Argosy, and then made his way up to editor. The weekly newspaper was located in British Guiana and during James’ nine years in the British Colony, he was able to turn the Argosy into a daily newspaper.
James would return to Scotland, where he met and married Flora Hope Trotter, in 1909. They had five children, all boys: Ian Allan, William Robertson, Nial Hope, who was sadly lost during WWII, James Evelyn, and George Mathieson.
In 1912, Senator William Dennis of Canada offered the position of editor of The Guardian newspaper to James; he would accept this position and move his family to Prince Edward Island, Canada and live in Rowan Cottage on Upper Hillsborough Street in Charlottetown. All but one of James’ sons took positions working at The Guardian but it was Ian, the first born son, who took over the position of Managing Director and Editor after James’ passing.
After many years working as editor of The Guardian, James was able to increase readership from 3,000 to over 13,000 by 1952. He was also known to create the sub-heading “Covers the Island Like the Dew”, used by the paper. Another major change James implemented was the paper's availability to the public. He would add delivery trucks and then airplanes to transport and deliver the newspaper each morning, no matter the location on the Island. He also began his own transport company Provincial Transport Inc., which would later be sold to Canada Post.
James and sons were also heavily involved as elders in their church Kirk of St. James Presbyterian Church in Charlottetown. He was also awarded the Scout’s Medal of Merit for his volunteer efforts with the Boy Scouts of Prince Edward Island.
Sadly on 12 June, 1952, James Robertson Burnett passed away at the age of 81.

Jean MacLean Reeder (1915-?)
Jean MacLean Reeder was born on 3 May 1915 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio to parents Harold Lester Reeder and Flora MacLean. Jean was an only child and sadly on 14 December 1917, at age 27, her father a salesman at Champlain Printing Company, passed away.
In 1919, Flora and Jean travelled to Southampton, England for three months, the application for a passport said they were going to help settle an estate. When they arrived back to Columbus, Ohio, they were living with Flora’s father and brother both named John MacLean.
At age sixteen, in 1931, Jean was being educated at Columbus School For Girls and she was a part of the I Pittori club, which was the most active club at the school and they helped to develop a larger appreciation of art.
By 1935, Jean was attending Ohio State University and was a junior in the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. During her time with the sorority, she became involved with the American Red Cross and she would travel to England with three others, Anne R. White, Virginia Mae Jones, and Ann Curtis. Jean graduated along with four hundred and thirty seven other graduates in 1936 according to the Stanford Daily on 30 April 1936. She would graduate with a Bachelors of Arts in English.

Jennings F. Sutor (1883-1961)
Jennings Frederick Sutor was born on 4 December 1883, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, US, to parents William Andrew Sutor and Georgina MacDonald. Jennings was the middle child out of six children, they included older brothers Donald McDonald, William B., older sister Sarah, and younger siblings, Georgina Katherine, and Charles Ballard. Jennings’ mother would pass away in 1889, and his father would remarry Anna Pettibone on 27 Nov 1898, in Wisconsin.
Jennings had an early start in the newspaper business, he was twenty years old when he began at the Denver Post and he would spend his life working at various newspapers. In a World War I draft registration, he is listed as the News Editor at the Oregon Journal and he would still be working with them years later, according to his World War II draft registration. Jennings would eventually retire from the newspaper business in 1948.
In 1937, Jennings had Portland architect Pietro Belluschi, design the Sutor house. He was looking for a house that would help him entertain, which he did often, and highlight the views of Mount Hood and the surrounding woods. By the time the house was finished, Jennings approximately spent $14,000.
Jennings would remain a bachelor and passed away on 2 August 1961, aged 77, in Portland, Oregon, US.
The UPEI Provenance collection has the book, “The Making of a Newspaper Man” by Samuel Blythe, which was gifted to Fred Lockley from the author, where in turn, Fred gifted it to Jennings during “Christmas 1948”. Jennings and Fred were good friends and inside the book, Fred wrote, “To Jennings Sutor”
“To the kind of a friend who is always a friend - and in top of which he first last and all the time a real honest to goodness newspaper man who knows news as few others do, with the cordial regards and best wishes of his long term fellow worker Fred Lockley”.
