    The Story of Florence Gooderham Hamilton Huestis
    Florence, the adopted daughter of William Gooderham's son, Henry, was "driven by a strong desire to contribute her time and effort to improving the lot of those less fortunate than herself." In this essay, Kathy Southee writes that the spiritual values and sense of duty of William Gooderham was "modeled by members of his family over the next two generations". Her great grandmother Florence serves as an example.
