From email from Murray Barkhouse Thursday March 24, 2016: I was fascinated to see your three photographs of Louisa Killam Richardson who was my grandfather's sister. My grandfather was a medical doctor in Woodville Nova Scotia. I had never seen these photographs before. Louisa was born in Woodville Nova Scotia and then married and lived in Greenville New Hapmpshire. Her husband injured his hand working in a furniture factory there and she earned much needed income from sewing. They returned to Kentville Nova Scotia and are listed in the census of 1922. Her husband at some point worked in real estate, whereupon they moved from Nova Scotia to Burnaby, BC. They had no children,. Murray Barkhouse email: murrayroybarkhouse@gmail.com 902-543-5767
