Biographical history
Bessie (Comstock) Graham (1890-1991) collected many photographs of her family during her long life. She was born in Asphodel township near Norwood, Ontario to Margaret (Elmhurst) and William Comstock, and had siblings Edith (later Edythe MacDonald) (1879-1980), Jin, John, Francis Wilbert (1887-1970), and Robert Harold (1902-1986). She died in Neepawa, Manitoba. In 1935 she married Albert Graham and they resided in Peterborough, Ontario. In 1971 Comstock and Edith moved to the Carberry area to care for their brother Harold. She enjoyed driving a horse and buggy at the Ladies Competition at summer fairs, and won many ribbons.
Custodial history
