A former resident of Riverside Glen in Guelph. Edith was born on October 10, 1907 and raised on the farm on Lot 23E in the second concession of the Township of Nassagaweya in Halton County. She attended SS. #4 School just across the road from the short lane to her home, the Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute (GCVI) and the Hamilton Normal School (a teacher's college). She then began working for Bell Canada, first in London and then in Kitchener. In 1942, Edith enlisted in the Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC) as soldier W2429 and was one in over 20,000 Canadian Women in the CWAC. She trained in Ste. Anne de Bellevue, PQ, Kingston and Ottawa, served in London, England during the blitz by the V1 and V2 bombs and in Appledorn, Holland in the CWAC role to support the troops of the First Canadian Army who liberated The Netherlands. Edith had a portable typewriter and her typing and short-hand skills were very much in demand at that time. She returned to Canada in 1946 and to her job at Bell Canada, retiring in 1973. Late in life, Edith bought a brand new car and learned how to drive it. This allowed Edith and her sister Grace to see many of the wonderful sights of Ontario and to enjoy the delicious suppers by local churches. Edith was a Life Member of the Telephone Pioneers of America, a Lifetime Member of the Nassagaweya Historical Society and was Secretary Treasurer of the Weatherston Family reunion for many years.
