Includes a number of photos taken the second week of March 1909, including a photo of "A Sewing Bee at the Public School" . From the bottom of the second column of text and top of the third column:
"A few of the teachers had long recognized that no girl's education was complete who did not know how to make and mend their own and her children's garments. Needlework was taught by some of the women teachers to their girls when the boys went to manual training, and a short course in plain sewing was given in the three classes in the intermediate grade of the Girls' School. This did not meet the needs of all, and through the efforts and influence of Mrs. Jenkins, Miss Boorman was appointed to teach all the girls in the common schools the art of plain needlework. This work has been hitherto done with very little assistance from the regular teachers, and but few can form any idea of the arduous labor required of the teacher who takes full control during five days in the week of more than a thousand girls ranging from the tiny tot, who does not know the finger upon which the thimble should be placed, to the girl in the senior class, who can cut, fit and finish a garment."

Includes a number of photos taken the second week of March 1909, including a photo of "A Sewing Bee at the Public School" . From the bottom of the second column of text and top of the third column:
"A few of the teachers had long recognized that no girl's education was complete who did not know how to make and mend their own and her children's garments. Needlework was taught by some of the women teachers to their girls when the boys went to manual training, and a short course in plain sewing was given in the three classes in the intermediate grade of the Girls' School. This did not meet the needs of all, and through the efforts and influence of Mrs. Jenkins, Miss Boorman was appointed to teach all the girls in the common schools the art of plain needlework. This work has been hitherto done with very little assistance from the regular teachers, and but few can form any idea of the arduous labor required of the teacher who takes full control during five days in the week of more than a thousand girls ranging from the tiny tot, who does not know the finger upon which the thimble should be placed, to the girl in the senior class, who can cut, fit and finish a garment."

He found, on arrival there, that he was too young to be given a grant of land. His father (Uncle William) decided to go out to him, being then a middle aged man who had been a clerk most of his life. He went and was followed by his wife and all his family except for Lillie who then had a boarding house in Ventnor. Cousin William and Uncle William having died, Lillie decided to go out and join the rest of her family and she took with her Dorothy Freeman.”

From the "Notes on the Life and the Descendants of Thomas Boorman":
“NOTE: William [son of William Scoons Boorman] immigrated to Canada when quite a youth intending to take up a Government grant of land and go in for farming. He found, on arrival there, that he was too young to be given a grant of land. His father (Uncle William) decided to go out to him, being then a middle aged man who had been a clerk most of his life. He went and was followed by his wife and all his family except for Lillie who then had a boarding house in Ventnor. Cousin William and Uncle William having died, Lillie decided to go out and join the rest of her family and she took with her Dorothy Freeman.”
- MEMBER: Ancient Order Of Foresters, Court of Vancouver
- MILITARY: He was a member of the 5th BC Regiment Artillery Regiment, stationed at Rocky point. This was a weekend army assignment, as he was also employed at a day job on Victoria. (see photos)
Was promoted to the rank of Sargent Major in the 5th BC Regiment on 9 Jan 1904 (from an unpublished book of 5th Regiment history kept at the 5th BC Regiment museum at the Victoria Bay St.Armory)

Later lived with his family in a house near Whitty's Lagoon. When he was 40 years old he was "burned out", a fire totally destroyed the house and belongings, so he had to start over. Winifred says he was "stoney broke" but too proud to ask for help. A family rift seemed to develop. Albert moved his family in with "Granny" Boorman until he could get on his feet again.

[Living between a Whittaker family on 1 side - A.E., Marion and Kate E - and Francis I Boorman and daughter Amelia A on the other]
WORK: carpenter, cabinet maker (as per daughter Winifred). Census confirms he worked as cabinetmaker in Victoria in 1901 (BC2-1039). Victoria City Directory 1913, lists him as a forman box factory, employer Can P S Lbr Co.
- 1913 Victoria City Directory lists his residence as 1328 Fisgard St., (the same as his sister Amelia Alice Boorman)
Later lived with his family in a house near Whitty's Lagoon. When he was 40 years old he was "burned out", a fire totally destroyed the house and belongings, so he had to start over. Winifred says he was "stoney broke" but too proud to ask for help. A family rift seemed to develop. Albert moved his family in with "Granny" Boorman until he could get on his feet again.

Likely named after her mother’s sister Kate Elizabeth ROBSON, born 1849
- Not sure when or where she died. One source says: Died in England as a young girl [perhaps because she’s not listed with parents in 1881 or 1891?].
There is a death registration that would fit this (including the age of 2 as she was not yet 3):
Deaths Mar 1880
Boorman Kate Elizabeth 2 Wandsworth 1d 497
BUT According to another research, she came out to Victoria with her oldest brother Walter William - see 1901 Canada census.
-1907: 3 rather than 4 sisters are listed in brother Walter’s obituary, including a “Miss Boorman of the Isle of Wight” [ this would be the oldest sister Frances Eliza “Lillie” who later came to Victoria in 1912], “Mrs. Robson of Mayne Island” [Henrietta, second oldest], and “Miss Boorman of Victoria” [Amelia Alice*, third oldest]. This would imply that Katie, the youngest, had already died.

RESEARCH NOTES
- BIRTH: may have been born in Ontario (like her parents) or in Emerson, Manitoba (some other siblings were). Birth year said to be 1887 by Jack Boorman, death record on internet gave 1888. Needs to have been born later in 1887 if she was 73 at death in May, 1961. Can’t find birth registration in Manitoba or BC. Checked Ontario births (1869 to 1911) on http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~births/index.htm - couldn’t find her there either.
- Emerson MN is due south of Winnipeg very near the US border, right where North Dakota borders Minnesota (google maps).

RESEARCH NOTES
- BIRTH: may have been born in Ontario (like her parents) or in Emerson, Manitoba (some other siblings were). Birth year said to be 1887 by Jack Boorman, death record on internet gave 1888. Needs to have been born later in 1887 if she was 73 at death in May, 1961. Can’t find birth registration in Manitoba or BC. Checked Ontario births (1869 to 1911) on http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~births/index.htm - couldn’t find her there either.
- Emerson MN is due south of Winnipeg very near the US border, right where North Dakota borders Minnesota (google maps).
