The Ven. E.H. Knowles
The Ven. Edwin H. Knowles, archdeacon of the Qu'Appelle diocese of the Anglican church and lecturer at St. Chad's college of Regina, was born in faraway Ceylon, at Badulla, on June 7, 1874, the son of English parents. His father and mother, Edwin and Jane (Bassett) Knowles, were married in St. Philip and St. James' church, Oxford, and went out to Ceylon, where the father had acquired a plantation before his marriage. He was one of the early British planters there and died in that country. His widow now lives in Kamsack, Saskatchewan. Edwin Knowles gave his political allegiance to the Conservative party and both he and his wife were communicants of the Church of England. They were the parents of three children: Edwin H. Knowles of this review; John, a farmer at Kamsack; and Mrs. Peter Fraser of Kelvington, Saskatchewan, whose husband is a merchant.
