Notice biographique

Wesley Stewart Turner was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1901. Between 1911 and 1916, Wesley and his parents, George W. Turner (1865-1949) and Christina C. Stewart (1870-1934), moved to Dundas, Prince Edward Island, the birthplace of Wesley's father. Wesley attended Upton School and helped his father on the family's farm. Wesley was also a member of the Independent Order of Young Canadians (I.O.Y.C.). On 12 May 1920, Wesley and his family left PEI to returned to Boston, where he lived the remainder of his life. Wesley S. Turner died in 1986.

Historique de la conservation

Présentation du contenu

The fonds contains twelve original diaries (dated 1916-1920) kept by Wesley S. Turner as a teenager in the Bridgetown/Dundas area of Prince Edward Island. The diaries outline Wesley's daily activities (such as completing chores and attending Upton School) as well as community events and information about the activities of his family, friends and neighbours. The diaries also include some poems, essays, and short stories, as well as a few loose newspaper clippings. The fonds also contains three volumes into which Wesley began copying his early diaries in 1928. The last entry in the transcribed diaries is 11 August 1918. The fonds also contains a Bible belonging to Wesley S. Turner, some genealogical notes, an undated Christmas prayer card, and an undated membership card for the Independent Order of Young Canadians (I.O.Y.C.). The Bible also includes notes and roll call for the first meeting of the I.O.Y.C. on 19 February 1915.
