On 26 October, we’ll be joined by Suzanne Sexty, MUN Honorary Research Librarian and regular Blue Castle-goer, who will talk about her research into the life of Catherine Isabella McLean Fraser: "Mother in Israel". From Crossapol on the isle of Coll, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, to the wilderness of Pictou, Nova Scotia, to Lunenburg, and finally to St. John's, the journey of Catherine Fraser took her far from her birth place. Wife of the first Presbyterian minister in Newfoundland, Catherine was a helpmate, mother and, always, "fiery Kate." The talk will look at Catherine's life as it brings her to Newfoundland.
