Biographical history
Annie Louise Laird was born in Malpeque, Prince Edward Island, on 25 March 1879. She moved to Kingston, Ontario, when her father, a Presbyterian clergyman relocated. She entered Queen's University and graduated with her B.A,. in 1901. She then commenced her teaching career, and on 2 September 1908, she married E. Pauline Johnson's publicist, Frank Arthur Yeigh (he for the second time) of Toronto, from her living room in Kingston. After the marriage, the couple moved back to Toronto, where for many years, she continued teaching. She was instrumental in carrying on the work of the Canadian Branch of 'Save the Children Fund', from its beginnings in the early 1920s until 1943. The Yeighs had one son, Frank Norman, born in 1909 (d. 1984). Predeceased by her husband, 29 October 1935, Annie Loiuse (Laird) Yeigh died in Toronto, 30 April 1960.
