Notice biographique

Mary (Cornfoot) Brehaut was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, on 7 February 1887. Educated at West Kent School and Prince of Wales College, Mary returned to West Kent School to teach until her marriage in 1912 to William Brehaut with whom she had three children. A member of numerous community organizations such as the PEI Hospital Auxiliary, the PEI Teachers Federation and the I.O.D.E., Mary was particularly known for her involvement in the revival of the PEI Historical Society in 1953. She was also actively involved in the PEI Heritage Foundation. A promoter of Prince Edward Island history, Mrs. Brehaut edited five volumes on the subject including "Pioneers on the Island", Vols. I and II, "Historic highlights", "Historic sidelights" and "Folklore of Prince Edward Island". Mary Brehaut died in Charlottetown on 28 February 1975.
