This photo was taken in September 1926 in Burchard's Gardens located in Victoria, British Columbia. Maria is seated at the right. She was 84 and Bessie was 48. Maria was the youngest daughter of Farquhar and Elizabeth McKenzie McKerchar. After marrying Graves Armstrong, she moved to Dublin, Ireland where her parents and older sisters Annie and Ronald McKerchar McTavish eventually joined her. During WWI, the widowed Maria and her two unwed daughters emigrated to Canada where they joined John Armstrong, Maria's only son.
