About Catharine McAvity

Belleville was never home to this proud Maritimer. She simply entered the world where her young parents were briefly stationed on an assignment for the railway. She was born into the old Prince Edward Island clan of MacNeills from Stanley Bridge, the family that adopted a young Lucy Maud Montgomery.
