Again, we don’t know much about Annie Ironside Cowan (1859-1952). She was born in Sault-Ste.-Marie in 1859. She married William John James (1844-1901) of Portage-la-Prairie, with whom she had five children. She was widowed in 1901 and in 1908 married Henry James Cowan (1873-1930). Sometime after that, she moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where she died in 1952. Her chapbook of poetry Vancouver Island and Other Poems was published in 1940.
