| Commentaires : | Ada Lucille Green was born on August 5, 1925 to Andrew and Jessie (Bartlett) Green, Trinity. She attended grade school in her home community at St. Paul's School where she received her early education from infant reader to Grade Ten. She went to St. John's to do her Grade Eleven and from there attended other Universities until she recieved her Bachelor of Library Science in 1948. Ada then began her working career at various libraries in Canada and around the world before returning to St. John's to begin a library at the Marine Institute befor her retirement. Ada's paternal family, the Greens practiced as blacksmiths in Trinity since before 1750 with John Green, the founder of the business, being the first of the blacksmiths. The trade was passed on from father to son for five more generations and included the following: John (1745-1809); Thomas (1793-1851); Thomas (1834-1907); John James (1862-1943) and Andrew (1893-1955). Upon Andrew's death in 1955, his daughter Ada, had the family forge boarded up and left everything inside the building for the next 35 years. In 1990, she donated the Forge to the Trinity Historical Society who then restored the building in 1992 and opened it as a museum. In 1999, the Forge became operational again and today operates as a living history musuem. |
