NotesIn 1921, Alice M Chapple, 13, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 134 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Alice was mentioned in a letter written in 1921 by Annie Gevaux. All the girls including Annie mentioned in this letter traveled together on the Minnedosa in 1921 and would be taken to the Hazelbrae Barnardo Home in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

In October of 1921 Annie Gevaux wrote to the Governor at the Girls Village, Barkingside:

Margaret Cox House
Hazel Brae
Peterborough, Ontario
October 7, 1921

Dear Madam:

As I am busy writing letters I thought perhaps you may like to hear from me. We are still at Hazel Brae because diphtheria has broken out among us. Ruth Millerick and Alice Chappel are in a hospital nearby, and Nora Millerick is in our own infirmary. There are ten other girls whose swabs are positive and if the rest of the girls' swabs are negative we are going to our service places. We have not seen much of Mr. and Mrs. Hobday because, we being isolated, they have kept at Toronto. Mrs. Hobday is lovely; she is exactly like a mother to us, and I am sure all the girls love her.

We had two lots of Canadian ice cream, and it is lovely. When Colonel and Mrs. Carless came to see us, the Colonel told us to line up for a dose of 'castor oil,' and we pulled awful faces. I should like you to have been here and seen the difference in our faces when he gave us the dose, for it was Canadian ice cream. The Colonel also had one and he made out he didn't like it, but at any rate he soon ate it. Yesterday we had some races, and I won a prize for high jump; it was a lovely necklace. We really have a nice time here. When Mr. and Mrs. Hoday and Mr. and Mrs. Carless came to see us, we had a concert and several people sent us things such as apples, oranges, chocolates, and cakes. some of the girls did some dances, which Mrs. Gilling had taught them at school.

The Colonel said they were very good, and we all enjoyed that evening very much. We are all patiently waiting for Mrs. Hobday to come back, when we shall be quite happy. Will you kindly remember me to Miss Macnaughton, and kindest regards to yourself.

I remain,
Yours Truly,
Annie Gevaux

Announced in a Peterborough newspaper was the June 6 1924 marriage of Alice Chappel of Hull, Yorkshire, England and Walter Eggleton of the Village of Omemee, County of Victoria, Ontario. They were married at the Anglican Cathedral Holy Trinity church in Quebec, Canada.
