Ella DUBRUL
In loving memory of Ella
DUBRUL, 1905-2001.
She was born Ella
KENDALL in Plattsburg, N.Y., the daughter of a Baptist
minister whose calls took the family to Antrim, N.H., Cranbrook, B.C., Dehli
and Norwich, Ontario. She graduated first in her class from Woodstock High
School. At Toronto Normal School she met Stuart
CORK.
They married in 1927
and raised two sons David and Kendall, and a foster-son Flight Sergeant John
GARDINER who was shot down in February, 1945. Their daughter Eleanor died
in infancy in 1946.
In 1935 they founded Killarney Mountain Camp, a summer resort in Baie Fine
then designed and built Birch Island Lodge on the Whitefish River Indian
Reserve, (Birch Island) near Little Current, Ontario, which they operated
from 1940 until the beautiful lodge burned in 1953. She was a Director of
Northern Ontario Outfitters Association and wrote its constitution.
From 1942 to 1945 she directed a novel recreation program at Trinity K Club,
the first girl's work program undertaken by the Kiwanis Club of Toronto.
In 1946 she helped Stuart found a new program in Institutional Management at
the University of Toronto. After his passing in 1950 the program was moved
to Ryerson, where it eventually grew into the present degree program in
Hospitality.
In 1952 she married Dr. George Harvey
WORTHINGTON in Vancouver, B.C. After
he passed on in 1954 she attended Columbia University in New York City where
she set a record number of points taken in one semester (30) and graduated
with a Master of Science degree in Public Law and Government.
In 1960 she married Stephen
DUBRUL, with whom she celebrated her most
cherished achievement, a 25th wedding anniversary. They lived at first in
Detroit, Michigan, but mainly north of there on Lake George Road, Lake
Orion. There she researched and published two books, "The Worst of the
Bargain" and "What Happened in Murdochville", and served as a
Director of
WTVS
Public TV.
After so much growth, both natural and by acquisition, she leaves a large
and diverse family of
CORK,
FINLAY,
DUBRUL, and
GALVIN, extending down
to great-grandchildren.
A funeral mass was held on Tuesday, July 17 at 10: 30 a.m. at Saint John's
Chapel of St. Michael's Cathedral, Toronto.

Francis Clinton
CROSWELL
In loving memory of Francis Clinton
CROSWELL,
March 20 1916-January 21 2001.
Clint CROSWELL, a resident of Kagawong, died at the Mindemoya
Hospital on Sunday January 21, 2001 at the age of 84 years. He was
born in Toronto,
son of the late Francis and Grace
{THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON}
CROSWELL.
Clint attended school in Toronto, studying first,
mechanical design, then became a student of accounts with a firm of
Chartered Accountants in Toronto from 1938-1940. He served in the
Navy from 1940-45, and following the war, returned to accounting,
moving to South Porcupine to specialize in Mine accounting. In 1948,
he joined the Field Auditing staff of United Co-Operatives, and in
the early 50's was an auditor for the Manitoulin Livestock
Co-Operative. In 1957, Clint joined the staff of League Central of
Ontario as Chief Examiner for Credit Unions in Ontario, retiring in
1980 as Vice-President covering Examinations and Field Services.
Clint also had many outside interests, and in 1953 became active in
the Boy Scouts, until he retired as regional Commissioner for Greater
Toronto Region and a Provincial Commissioner. He was awarded the
Medal of Merit and the Silver Acorn by the then Governor General. An
active member of the Manitoulin Navy Vets, he served as Secretary,
Treasurer and Chairman. He was also an avid golfer, and had been
given a life membership to the Manitoulin Island Country Club. Clint
was involved in the organization of
LAMBAC, and was its first
Chairman. While in South Porcupine, skiing and his dog team were
not only sports, but hobbies he enjoyed. He always said that dog
teams didn't break down like most snowmobiles, and you always got
where you were going. He also enjoyed travelling and cruises, having
visited many ports. He was a member of St. Paul's on the Hill United
Church. Clint loved playing card games, in particular, poker and
euchre. His enjoyment in winning these games, earned him quite a
reputation for, shall we say, sleazy and underhanded tricks.
Dearly loved husband of Helen
{HILLIARD} of Kagawong, loving father
and father in law of Clinton (Kit) and Karen
CROSWELL of Oakville
Valerie and Gary
