History

HAND MADE, SOME BY DONOR'S MOTHER, SOME MADE BY DONOR.

*UPDATE* IN 2018, COLLECTIONS ASSISTANT ELISE PUNDYK CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF BOXED TEXTILES AND ACCESSORIES, INCLUDING A DOILY DONATED BY LOUISE REIVE. ACCORDING TO HER LETHBRIDGE HERALD OBITUARY, LOUISE WAS BORN IN CALGARY (B. 1903) AND RAISED IN THE CLARESHOLM DISTRICT. SHE WAS A NURSE IN ST. MICHAEL'S HOSPITAL IN LETHBRIDGE FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL HER RETIREMENT IN 1969. SHE MARRIED JAMES HENRY REIVE (1886-1954) AND THEY HAD TWO SONS: JOHN AND JAMES. SHE PASSED AWAY IN THE BAHAMAS ON 9 APRIL 1980 AT THE AGE OF 76 YEARS. CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE DONOR'S NEXT-OF-KIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

*UPDATE* IN 2021 TWO COLLECTIONS ASSISTANTS, RYLEY GELINAS AND O. E., CONDUCTED AN AUDIT OF THE ROLLED TEXTILE COLLECTION, INCLUDING THIS ARTIFACT. RESEARCH CONDUCTED INTO THE DONOR WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS MADE AVAILABLE AS A RESULT OF THE AUDIT WORK. PLEASE SEE PERMANENT FILE P19770080000 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, INCLUDING COPY OF LETHBRIDGE HERALD OBITUARY
