Black and white triptych photo of Doris Canning who was born 1908, one of daughters of Smith Canning and Annie Eliza Turnbull Canning of Churchill. She was active in sports and is pictured wearing a western style hat and neck bandana on the left, holding a ball in the middle, and holding a tennis racket on the right. Doris married William Lorne Johnston in 1934 and for a time he had a store in the Painswick area. After Lorne died, Doris married Llewellyn Beaver in Barrie in 1965. She had taught school for a period and was a support and mentor for her great-niece Nancy (Fraser) Fyfe. Doris donated a family photo and some land records to the Innisfil Historical Society’s Document Centre and contributed to the book "Skunks and Scholars" by writing about some of the home remedies she received as a child. She donated to the Simcoe County Museum a large quilt, a pleater, dressmaker’s chalk, a handmade beaded purse, an embroidered pillow sham, and a shaving set. When Doris died in 1998, she was the last of the Canning family who had lived at Churchill. The photo was donated by Kemp Hastewell, nephew of Doris Canning.
