Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942), born in Clifton on Prince Edward Island, lost her mother before she was two and grew up in Cavendish with strict grandparents. A schoolteacher, and for one winter a journalist at the Daily Echo in Halifax, she returned to run the village post office and care for her grandmother, writing every morning. Married in 1911 to the Presbyterian minister Ewen Macdonald, she settled in Ontario, raised her two sons there and kept throughout her life a substantial diary, published from 1985. She died in Toronto.
