Biografie
Margaret "Peg" Crook was born in Winnipeg in 1918 and passed away December 31, 1991. Crook worked for the Bank of Montreal in several British Columbia communities before transferring to the Whitehorse Branch in 1968. She retired from the bank in 1978. Associated with the Yukon Historical Society during its early days, Crook volunteered for MacBride Museum for 20 years. She was involved with Yukon Historical and Museums Association (YHMA) from its inception in 1975 and was an active member for over 12 years. Peg Crook and Helen Horback researched and wrote the book "Lost Graves" about the Whitehorse Pioneer Cemetery. Her lifelong commitment to the preservation of Yukon history was rewarded in 1989 with a YHMA Heritage Award of recognition. Crook travelled extensively and collected postcards, brochures, programs and flyers from nearly every site she visited.
