Spoke at the WFMS in Stratford, several times, home of her brother-in-law Andrew Jeffrey. Lived at 4 St Vincent St Toronto at time of death. (is that now St Vincent Lane near Bay and Grenville?) LDS notes she lived in St Catherines Ontario!

Cecilia Jeffrey Residential School near Kenora (https://presbyterianarchives.ca/2018/08/17/cecilia-jeffrey-school/) was named after her. It was founded in 1901 in her honour by the Presbyterian Church on good principles (https://archives.algomau.ca/main/?q=book/export/html/23716). However, as with all residential schools in Canada that ended up 'taking the indian out of the indian' and thus creating much trauma down the generations, it is the location of a recently famous story about stuudent Chanie Wenjack who died when trying to walk away from the school to go home in 1966. That story is immortalized in a book by Gord Downie called Secret Path, and song, in roughly 2017.
