History
Vernon Crockett (1878-1951) was the second child of George Crockett (1849-1923) and Mary MacFarlane (1851-1944) of York, Prince Edward Island. He was educated at York school, Prince of Wales College, and also obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree (university unknown). Vernon taught school at York for a short time and worked as an Inspector of Schools. He then held the position of principal at MacDonald Consolidated school in Bunbary until it closed in 1912. Enlisting on 21 November 1915, Crockett joined the 104th Canadian Infantry and served overseas in World War I. Upon returning from the war, Vernon moved to British Columbia where he taught school for twenty-three years. He retired to PEI where he lived in York with his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Watts.
