NotesOn the 12th of July, 1902, the entire party of children who were emigrating were paraded in front of H.R.H. Princess Henry of Battenburg, Lord Brassey, the President of the Institution, and many other distinguished personages.

On July 17, 1902, Wm Hartley, 11, set off from Liverpool, England en route to Boston, Massachusetts, USA, along with a group of about 400 children with a final destination of Toronto and Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

?Ups and Downs? of that same year offered an article written by Alfred Owens, one of the persons who accompanied the children in July 1902.

"On the second day out from Liverpool, one of the younger boys, William H. Hartley, came down with a case of diphtheria. On the following Wednesday, little Willie died. He was buried at sea the following morning at dawn."
