  • Notes 
    • Belle Jeffrey's sister, Mary Hutchison, was next door neighbour to William Greig in Westmount Montreal (see Item #3 and 5 in his Library) until roughly 1906. Belle was visiting her sister and got invited across the street to a neighbour's party where William's son Wickliffe was similarly invited. (Oral communication in about 1975 from Eileen Hutchison (daughter of Mary) who was about 5 years old at the time of said party. Eileen vividily remmebers reports of this exciting event.) See William Greig Library Item #5.

      Eileen reported that her family rented a cottage near the Greig's rented cottage at South Bristol, Maine, when she was a kid, roughly 1910-1915. See Wickliffe Library Item #9 and William Library Item #4.

      Belle Jeffrey signed Janet (Jessie) Jeffrey's vistor book in 1893 (see Janet Jeffrey Library Item 4 Page 13).

      Belle was artistic - see Libary Item 4

      Living at 26 Earl St Toronto Nov 22, 1905 when her beau of the day sent her a postcard, 6 years before she married him. (See Library/ Wickliffe Geig/Items 17 and 17a)
