Biographical history
Edna Maude Reeve (nee Cornwall) was a schoolteacher in Brandon, Manitoba and surrounding area. She was born on October 20, 1913 near Windthorst, Saskatchewan, the eldest of four daughters. Her parents were Esther Cornwall (nee Forke) (1892-1984) and Nova Scotia-born farmer Charles R. Cornwall (1889-1980), and her great-uncle was Senator Robert Forke (1859-1934). In 1940, Edna married Kenneth A. Reeve (1908-1965), a grain buyer from Grenfell, Manitoba, with whom she had four children. She taught for 23 years in Saskatchewan, Brandon, and southwestern Manitoba. She was a member of the Naomi Rebekah Lodge No. 6 and volunteered with Central United Church, Canadian Cancer Society, and the Canadian Diabetes Association. Edna died on January 15, 1991 at age 77.
Custodial history
It is unclear how Edna Reeve came to possess this collection, as neither she nor anyone in her immediate family attended Brandon College. It is possible the postcards belonged to her first cousin once removed, Marjorie Berg (nee Forke) (1899-1991), who attended the college in 1917. Forke was the daughter of Senator Robert Forke (1859-1934) and cousin of Edna's mother, Esther I. Cornwall (nee Forke).
Scope and content
The collection consists of six photographic postcards of Brandon College staff, students, and buildings.
