NotesIn 1910, George Howard, 14, arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 21 children en route to the Gibbs Home for Boys, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada.

George brought, as did most home children, a trunk in which it is written in the top: "George Howard, c/o the Matron Gibbs Home for Boys, Sherbrooke, Canada." There used to be metal handles and a latch on the box that George's son recycled on a tool box he built. The box was just used for storage for many years and is quite banged up, but now his granddaughter displays it in her living room and she is glad that guests are curious about it and ask her to tell her grandfather's story, even though he himself did not talk much about it. (Heather Howard-Bobiwash, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.)
