I visited this nice little house. Some wonderful scrapbooks kept by L. M. were on display. I learned that L. M. Montgomery was not an orphan like her character, Anne Shirley, but her mother died (age 23) of TB when L. M. was only 21 months old. Her father left her with her maternal grandparents and took off for Saskatchewan. She lived with her grandparents until she was 37 when she married a Presbyterian pastor named Macdonald and moved to Ontario. There is evidence that she missed PEI very much.
