The series consists of the personal correspondence and memorabilia of Mona Barclay Hogg, and a small amount of material from her husband Robert Hume. The bulk of the letters are from her immediate and extended family, and they reveal the Hogg and Hume family connections which reached across the country and into Great Britain. The memorabilia reflects her personal interests in music, philately, and travel. Her papers in many ways represent the experiences of a typical middle-class woman in Canada from 1890 to 1955, from her childhood and youth through to her widowhood and death.

Show detail Hide detail

Hogg, Mona Barclay, 1885-1955 : Mona Barclay Hogg was born 23 July 1885 in Moncton, New Brunswick, the daughter of Rev. Joseph Hogg and Mary Ann Webster. She was raised in Winnipeg and developed lifelong interests in music and philately. After her father's death, she traveled in Europe in 1907 and 1908 and apparently studied music in Dresden, Germany and Edinburgh, Scotland. She returned to Winnipeg and married Robert Hume there on 11 August 1909. They lived in Edmonton, Alberta after their marriage but moved to Port Hope after 1921. Mona and Robert Hume had four children: Mary Mona (b. 29 May 1910 in Edmonton), John Joseph (b. 4 May 1913 in Edmonton), Barbara Angus (b. 23 July 1918 in Edmonton), and Robert David (b. 4 February 1925 in Port Hope). Mona Barclay Hume died on 11 May 1955 in Montreal.

Hume, Robert, 1879-1937 : Robert Hume was born 27 November 1879 in Port Hope, the son of John Hume and Sarah Palmer Angus. He followed in the footsteps of his father, who was a successful grain and seed merchant in Port Hope, in partnership with his brother John Angus Hume. This business took him to westward, first to Fort William, then Winnipeg and later Edmonton where he formed the Prairie Elevator Company. Robert Hume had married Mona Barclay Hogg on 11 August 1909 in Winnipeg and they had four children. After his father's death in 1921, he returned to Port Hope to reside in the family home. The economic depression of the 1930s damaged Robert Hume's business operations and greatly reduced the family fortune but he resumed grain trading in Montreal. He died in Port Hope on 21 August 1937.
