Born October 29, 1893, at her family home (Ty Mawr), in Llanfrynach, Breconshire, Wales, Alice Katharine Garnons Williams, was brought into the world, by Dr. G.P. Francis, father of Montie Francis, the man Kate would, at the age of 30, eventually wed.
Kate, 3rd born of 3 siblings, resided in Wales, in a huge, Victorian mansion, surrounded by meadows, pastures, gardens, fruit trees, and every type of tamed animal imaginable, until she and Montie were wed July 28, 1923 in 'St. Bartholemews the Great.'
4 days after their marriage, this older, but blissful pair left Great Britain, traveling to Canada, by liner, to begin their life together in the ''New World,'' Canada. They landed in Quebec, going ''up country,'' by C.P.R., to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and during their first year as husband & wife, resided on farms, in several different towns, before finally settling in Virden, Manitoba, where Kate resided until her death (date unknown).
A. Katherine Francis writes her story the way I imagine she spoke. This, Kate's 2nd biography, is a very easy read and, without a doubt in my mind, you will be captivated by this wonderful woman and the story she tells.
