| Fonctions : | Lucy Davis Springer (1885-1938) was the youngest of 14 children born to David Springer and Elizabeth Ghent, who lived on Highway 5 (Dundas Street). Lucy married George Ireland (1885-1972) in 1917. They had one daughter, Lucie Marie, in 1923. Lucy was an accomplished pianist, having earned her A.T.C.M. She taught piano and was always on call to accompany the local vocalists. She played the organ at St. John's Anglican Church on Highway 5. Lucy passed away in 1938 of an unknown illness. Born on 14 SEPT 1923, Marie was the only child of George Ireland (1885-1972) and Lucy Davis Springer Ireland (1885-1938). Although always called Marie, she was baptized Lucie Marie at St. John's Anglican Church. As a child, Marie loved music and animals; she enjoyed helping her father on the farm and became an accomplished horsewoman. Marie attended public school at S.S. #5, Nelson and graduated from Burlington High School in 1941. She attended McMaster from 1941-42 and then went to Teachers' College. Her first teaching position was at the Moffat Public School. She returned to McMaster 1946-48 graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She taught in Port Arthur (now Thunder Bay) and Ottawa between 1948 and 1963. Marie returned to Oakridge Farm to be married at St. John's Anglican Church on 23 SEPT 1963 to William Bush; unfortunately, the marriage ended in divorce. Marie then taught at Ryerson Public School in Hamilton from 1965 until she retired in 1977. Throughout her adult life, Marie was involved in community organizations such as the Burlington Historical Society, the Garden Club of Burlington, the Teachers' Federation and St. John's Anglican Church. |
