Posted on: General Alberta<br>Canada Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/Alberta/General/11483 Surname: CALDER, COTTON, WILSON, DONNER ------------------------- Looking for descendants of sisters of Phoebe CALDER, born ca. 1881 in Nova Scotia, and shown in Alberta census of 1891. Parents believed to be David and Eliza CALDER (taken from census). Sisters: Hortense, b. ca. 1878 and Jennett (Jenny), b. ca. 1879. Phoebe married John Cotton, an engineer with the CPR. Phoebe was one of Calgary's 'Pioneers' and their only child, daughter Jean Alberta COTTON, was a piano teacher and professional musician in the Calgary area from ca. 1930 to 1975. The Cottons resided on Rideau Road in Calgary. Following her husband's death, Phoebe married Norman Wilson. Jean COTTON married Carl DONNER, a music teacher in the Calgary area who had earlier farmed at Didsbury. The other CALDER sisters , Hortense and Jenny, were believed to have moved to Medicine Hat and/or Moose Jaw. Any information, links, however speculative, would be appreciated.
