Walnut-cased Palace
Grand upright piano by Uxbridge,
ca. 1892
This piano belonged to David and Annie
McDougall (Georgie’s parents). Eleanor Luxton’s
manuscript about her grandmother, Annie McDougall, says
that in 1892 David McDougall sent to Oxford, Ontario for
a piano. One was sent out, but he and Annie did not like
the tone so they returned it. The Oxford people wrote to
say that they had a piano at the Columbia Exposition and
it had taken first prize. They went on to say that if
David was willing to wait, he could have it when the
Exposition closed. So in 1893 their first piano came. It
became Georgina’s when she married and went with her to
her new home in
Banff. |
