History
The youngest daughter of the Rev. J.E. James and Selina W. Redclift, Margaret M. (Peggy) Cohoe was born in Stirling, South Australia. The daughter of a Congregationalist minister, she came to Canada in 1947, via Great Britain. She had won a scholarhip to the Bromley Art School in 1938, but with the commencement of hostilities she earned a Primary Specialist Certificate at the University of London instead. During the Second World War she held teaching positions in both England and Scotland. As a teacher, she taught in many fields, including early childhood education, and was responsible for establishing the first nursery schools in North Bay and Hamilton Mountain. On moving to Kingston, Peggy Cohoe became the only instructor qualified to teach early childhood education at St. Lawrence College and, in 1998, was awarded an Honourary diploma in recognition of her services there. In Kingston, Mrs. Cohoe was an active member of both the Kingston Historical Society and the Kingston Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. Peggy Cohoe died, in Kingston, 25 February 2002.
