The Burnaby Branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) was established in 1912 with Miss Colhoun as its first nurse. Florence Hart was born in 1898 in New Westminster, and moved to Burnaby when she was 13. Her family lived in what is now known as Hart House. Both Florence and her husband Harold Godwin were awarded life memberships from the VON (Victorian Order of Nurses) for more than half a century of service. Hear her discuss her involvement with VON during the Great Depression: https://search.heritageburnaby.ca/permalink/oralhistory13 https://search.heritageburnaby.ca/permalink/oralhistory14 https://search.heritageburnaby.ca/permalink/oralhistory15

nursing dress
https://search.heritageburnaby.ca/link/museumartifact27012
- Repository
- Burnaby Village Museum
- Accession Code
- HV974.69.7
- Description
- Nursing dress, c.1919. White cotton lawn and lace. Square neckline with large square collar, half length sleeves, and ankle length skirt. Straight natural height waist. A precursor to the 1920s straight shape, the dress has a gathered skirt and a bodice that is straight except for slight shaping via seam placement to create room in the front. The bodice front has a square neckline with a large square collar that extends from three quarters down the bodice and continues around the back of the neck. The collar is fillet lace in a floral pattern, and there is a fillet lace panel on the bodice centre front that extends from the neckline to waistline, and to either collar. The bodice sides and back are plain. Each sleeve is plain cotton, with a large fillet lace cuff that is attached in a semi-spiral to give it a draped effect. The seams on the sleeves are positioned slightly forward, and do not match the side seam position. The skirt hangs gathered from the natural waist. After a band of lawn, there is: a band of fillet lace, lawn with a large tuck, lace, lawn with a tuck, and large section of lawn hemmed up to the last tuck on the inside. Under the skirt, attached at the waistline, there is a built in pair of 'underwear' in soft tulle. There is a space for each leg, and it is open on the front. The tulle 'underwear' closes on the inside with snaps up the centre front, creating a narrower section around the waist. The main skirt closes up the side left with snaps, and along the left waist. The bodice also uses snaps to close along the left side of the fillet lace panel. Shaping in the bodice comes from side seams that angle towards the side back, forcing the front bodice to pouf out in front. There are also pin tucks on the shoulders that release fullness into the bodice, and the shoulder seams are cut further back instead of sitting right on top of the shoulder. The dress is unlined, machine sewn with french seams.
- Object History
- The donor donated the dress and other items after the death of her mother in West Vancouver. The items had been stored in the donor's basement since she was young. The dress belonged to her grandmother, who lived in Edmonton until about 1905, and was used by the donor to play dress-up.

- BV985.407.6
- Description
- Autograph Book - Booklet -- [1915]. Autograph book produced by Rose & Co at 44 Above Bar, Southhampton. The book was a gift to Mrs. Orman from the Teachers and Children of All Saints Sunday School, Eastleigh, Southhampton, upon her departure to Canada. The first four pages lists all the teachers and children's names. The front cover of the book is green with two painted purple flowers and "Autographs" embossed in white on the bottom right.
- Object History
- This accession appears to be connected to the Orman family. Ada Leila Orman was born June 2, 1901 in Eastleigh, Hampshire, England. According to the 1915 Census, the Orman family came to Canada in 1911 and settled in Calgary. Father Willoughby Henry Orman is listed there as working as a C.P.R. foreman, while mother Daisy Marie (Harklett) Orman worked at home. Older sister Daisy Hilda (Targett) Orman, worked as a stenographer. At five years old Leila began a long fight with a crippling type of rheumatoid arthritis. By the time she was thirteen, she experienced completely ankylosed joints. Her family travelled all over hoping to find a cure, but to no avail. While living in Calgary, Leila developed an interest in painting, knitting, and composing her own poems. She began writing news articles for the Calgary Daily Herald in the 1930s, and her first sonnet published was in that paper on August 28, 1934. She had a strong interest in the arts, often writing about music and the visual arts. While living in Calgary, she became a member of the Business and Professional Women’s Club as well as a member of the Canadian Author’s Association. Three members of the family moved to B.C. when Willoughby retired, ca. 1938. In the 1940 BC Directory, the family are listed as living at 407 Campbell Street, Burnaby. Willoughby died in Burnaby in 1945. Daisy Marie died in 1955 after living 15 years in Burnaby. Her address at the time of her death is listed as 407 Rosewood Avenue, Burnaby. Leila was living with her at that time. Older sister Daisy Hilda married Edgar Harold Targett in 1922. They moved to B.C. from Alberta some years after the other three members of the family (ca. 1962). Daisy Hilda died in 1972. Her address at the time of her death was 7969 Rosewood Avenue, Burnaby. Leila wrote on a typewriter with two sticks to type out the letters. She was an avid reader and was able to turn the pages with a special stick with elastic bands wound around the ends. Canadian novelist Maida Parlow French became her lifelong friend and encouraged her to write her own autobiography - unfortunately it was never finished. Leila wrote “The Giving Heart” in October of 1948. By 1952, she was writing a column for the British Columbia Saturday Magazine entitled “Across the Board” with the intention of inspiring other “incapacitated folk” to live up to their full potential, “If [she] could reach a few people, and encourage them to reach up and out, [she] should feel the effort well worthwhile.” A member of the St. Alban’s Prayer Healing Fellowship group, Leila wrote the “Christian Manifesto for World Peace” in 1963. The Prayer Group met twice monthly at one of the members’ homes and undertook to pray daily for the sick and for world peace. After Leila’s mother died in 1955, Leila’s friend Jeanie Brown kept house for her and was her constant companion. Jeanie Brown and Leila lived together for over thirteen years until an accident sent Leila to hospital and later to nursing home where she died on February 16, 1976.
