Biografie
Robert Kirkland Kernighan (“The Khan”) was born in 1857 and lived most of his life on Rushdale Farm, near Rockton, Ont. A farmer and a poet, he wrote for both the Hamilton Spectator and the Toronto Evening Telegram. The Spectator published his first collection of verse, The Khan’s Canticles in 1896. The Telegram published his last collection, The Khan’s Book of Verse, in 1925. Kernighan died on 4 November 1926.
Geschiedenis beheer
Bereik en inhoud
Mary J. Mason was the sister of Kernighan. She was contacted after her brother’s death by F.E. Page of New Dundee in 1928 with regard to a memorial to her brother and later on for her memories of him. The fonds consists of three letters to Page, and a memoir of Kernighan’s life, death, and funeral (manuscript, 7 pages) sent to Page on 5 September 1933. Page was writing a life of Kernighan. In the memoir, his sister gives his date of birth as 1854. Note: Mason’s hand makes it difficult to read the name of her correspondent; “Page” is assumed but may not be correct.
