Biographical history

John H. Routledge, 1888-1978, was born in Stanwix, Cumberland, England and emigrated to Calgary, Alberta via Buffalo, New York in 1909. In 1913 he married Gertrude Emma Craft, 1891-1988, of London, England, who had emigrated from the United Kingdom to Calgary around 1910. John worked as a Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) freight agent for many years. Gertrude worked at Pryce-Jones Department Store and Rochon Chocolates in Calgary before she and John moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Custodial history
