Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Jessie Rowles Caldwell was born in Manchester, England in 1901. The family emigrated to Canada in 1910, eventually settling on a Saskatchewan homestead near the Alberta border town of Empress in 1915. After attending Normal School in Saskatoon she taught at Eston before enrolling in the University of Saskatchewan in 1920, earning her way by teaching in rural schools and working for the Dominion Chautauqua during the summers.
