Linda, my Bootland family has deep ties to Kingdon Mine. Walter Bootland was Superintendent of the mine in the 20’s. Did you happen to uncover any information on him or my grandmother, Minnie? My eldest aunt Lillian married Laurence Proulx and had 5 sons.

Linda: I am writing on behalf of Steven Avery whose Aunt Violet Mason (nee Avery) died in a fire in 1935 at Kingdon Mine with her 3 children. Sharon Robb (April 24, 2019) is related to the Bootland family. Tommy Bootland was the last person to see the Mason family alive March 9, 1935, Can you put us in touch with Sharon or give us a contact number? It’s been 86 years but we are still trying to fill in the blanks. Steven’s email is averytech@bell.net and mine is dlaw@bell.net. Violet was my Cousin. We have the newspaper clippings but to find someone who is in the Bootland family is more than we could have imagined! Thank you for your attention in this matter. Telephone 613-224-3451.
Steve Avery and Dianne Wheeler (Avery)
