History
Florence Davidson married Dr. John Harris McPhedran in 1908. She joined him in England during World War I with their two young daughters, Isobel Catherine (known to all as "Muffie") who was born in 1909, and Elizabeth Alexandra, born in 1911. Florence was determined to be a war correspondent, and even lobbied Prime Minister Borden to ensure that she could go to France. The authorities relented and reports from her trip in December, 1917 were forwarded to the Toronto Star. She seriously impaired her husband's chances for advancement by complaining to authorities about the treatment of troops at the Front.
After the War, the family settled again in Toronto, where Florence was involved in volunteer work. She died of a brain tumour in 1934.
