NotesIn 1924, Amy Elizabeth Hodgkins, 8, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of Middlemore children.

Amy Hodgkins, five, was sent to a farm near Baddeck in 1925. "They (the neighbours) all knew about her beating me but they wouldn?t open their mouths . . . And when the inspectors came, I wouldn?t tell them. I was too scared, I thought she?d really pound me after they?d left . . . All I can remember is all the poundings I got for nothing . . . I had the yard work, the field work . . . scrub floors, everything." -taken from an interview with Heather Laskey, January 3 2010 thechronicleherald.ca
