JULIA CRUIKSHANK
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 9 June 1921]
While seated in a motor car, watching the sun set on the military commons at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Mrs. E.A. Cruikshank, wife of Brig-Gen. Cruikshank of Ottawa, died suddenly Sunday night.
Mrs. Cruikshank was in Toronto attending the meeting of the National Chapter of the Imperial Order, Daughter of the Empire, and had gone to Old Niagara to spend the week-end with Miss Elliot, and to attend the meeting of the Ontario Historical Society, of which her husband is the President.
Mrs. Cruikshank who was born in New York State, married her husband while he was doing newspaper work in Buffalo. During the General’s tenure of office in Alberta, she took a deep interest in the work of the I.O.D.E., for which she was made a life member of the National Chapter. On the promotion of her husband to Ottawa she again became identified with the I.O.D.E, and succeeded Miss Merritt as regent of the Iroquet Chapter. She was the author of several books, and took a keen interest in her husband’s work in making a research into the early records of Canadian history.
