: Kenneth Earl Kidd; Kenneth Earl Kidd was born in Barrie, Ontario, on July 21, 1906, the elder son of Daniel Ferguson Kidd and Florence May (Jebb) Kidd of Cookstown, Ontario. The first four years of his life were spent in the hamlet of Egbert, before his parents moved to the ancestral Kidd farm in West Gwillimbury Township. He grew up in Cookstown, attended Public and Continuation School there, and completed his secondary school education at Barrie Collegiate Institute. He attended the University of Toronto (Victoria College), graduating in Honours English and History in 1931, followed by a year at the Ontario College of Education. After a short interval of teaching at the Brantford Collegiate and the Mohawk Institute in Brantford, Kidd accepted an appointment in the Department of Ethnology at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, where he remained for the next thirty years. Simultaneously, he obtained an M.A. degree from the University of Toronto in Anthropology and History. He then took leave to attend summer school in archaeology at the University of New Mexico, and a scholarship enabled him to continue his anthropological studies for a year at the University of Chicago, where he met Martha Ann Maurer, a Master of Fine Arts Graduate from the School of Art Institute of Chicago. They were married in 1943. Biography by Martha Ann Kidd.

: Killyleagh School; Class photo taken in 1910 for the one room school house known as S.S. # 6, Killyleagh School, on land donated by William Sharpe on his farm to the County of Simcoe. The farm was located on the corner of Centre Street (5th Sideroad) and the Sixth Line in the Township of Innisfil. The Sharp (original spelling) Family acquired title to the farm in 1853. The farm was originally 100 acres. In the 1930s during the Depression an adjoining farm of 50 acres owned by the Rodgers family was sold by the Township for taxes, which William Sharpe purchased the 50 acres on the tax sale and increased his own farm to 150 acres. This evidently resulted in the Sharpe and Rodgers families understandably becoming estranged. Descendants of William Sharpe donated the original photo to the Simcoe County Archives and were provided with a digital copy. One of William Sharpe’s three daughters, Muriel Sharpe (Cornes) (Meeke), is the sixth child from the left in the back row with her blonde hair pulled back wearing spectacles. All three of his children attended the school. This information was provided by Barbara Cornes, daughter of Muriel Sharpe, to her son Alan Heisey in September 2020.
