Edna Gertrude Young was born February 17, 1914 to William and Alice Peterman in Kenora, Ontario. She was the youngest of 4 girls, born and raised on 2nd St. She was married on June 15, 1936 to a dapper Scotsman, Alfred Young. They had 2 sons Glen and Richard. Al and Edna lived above the family store & worked in it along with their boys who delivered groceries after school. Edna & family moved back to her birth home on 2nd St once her father fell ill. They resided there for the next 40yrs to raise their family. Once the house became too big for them, they resided in the Gardner house. Al and Edna loved to travel; many trips to Scotland to visit his family, bus tours, and a cruise. She travelled into her late 80's with her granddaughters.

Al and Edna were very involved with Knox United Church. She belonged to the UCW & the Legion, where she received the 75 year pin, plus belonged to the hospital auxiliary. Always on the go to a luncheon, bingo or craft show.
