        History

        Edythe and Michael Punch accumulated considerable interesting ephemera that their daughter Carolyn Smedley generously donated to the Municipal Archives. Edythe was born Edith Little in 1902 at 140 Longard Road, Halifax (which became north end of Robie Street) eldest child of William Henry (Harry) Little (1881-1973) and Ethel Beatrice Kew (1882-1967). Harry's parents David and Florence (Craig) Little lived further down Longard Road below Lady Hammond with their large family, including daughter Gladys. The Little family had originally settled the Upper Hammonds's Plain area. Ethel's widowed mother Margaret Kew, nee Gerrard, was of the family that had grown up on Gerrard's Island. Harry was a cooper at the Acadia Sugar Refinery. He served overseas in WWI and when he returned did not stay with Ethel and their children, moving to the Sackville area. Ethel raised her 10 children (born 1902-1920) on her own. Michael Thomas Punch was born July 18, 1899 on Robie Street and worked in communications. Prior to her marriage Edythe was a telephone operator. Edythe and Michael's children were Carolyn Smedley and Terrence M. Punch.
