    Notes:

    Source: When the Lions Fed – Saint John Hostages in Congo (1964)
    Article n. 310 by Ronald J. Jack (Public Historian and Web-publisher)

     In the summer of 1954, Sonia Black and David Grant were married in an obscure little church in West Saint John. She was 28 and he was 29. On the provincial registration document, beside "Occupation", each of them entered "Missionary". They had signed up for language courses and were preparing to devote their lives to mission work in the Belgian Congo. What they got themselves into, and who got them out, make for an interesting story. It is history worth preserving.
     [...]
     The pair of star-crossed missionaries were Saint Johners, through and through. Sonia Black was a Valley-girl, having lived at 262 City Road, almost in the shadow of the General Public Hospital. In fact after graduating from Saint John High School she enrolled in the Nursing School at the General, and was Class Valedictorian in 1947. She received her theological training at the Prairie Bible Institute at Three Hills, Alberta., a western institution with links to many churches in the Maritimes. Her Dad had been a gunner in one of the Siege Batteries in WW1 and returned to work with the C.P.R. Her mother had been office staff with T.S. Simms in Fairville.
     David Grant hailed from Red Head, just east of the city. He was a graduate of the Vocational High School on Douglas Avenue, and the practical knowledge he acquired there served him well in Africa where he built a seminary and a school. After graduation he took theological training with the Atlantic Bible Institute at Hampton Station, N.B. After falling for Sonia he proposed twice. The second proposal was that they devote their married lives to mission work, and their application was accepted by the Unevangelized Field Mission. The U.F.M. was a Christian umbrella group utilizing volunteers from multiple denominations and countries.
     Over the years tens of thousands of Canadians have washed up in some of the world’s danger zones, got in trouble, and had to be rescued. There is drama in bad luck, certainly, but precious little heroism. With Sonia and David Grant we have a different story. They were forced out of Congo by revolutionary blood letting, but could not sit on their hands in Canada while their students, patients an friends were under threat. After a period of recuperation in Saint John, consultation with family, and no doubt plenty of prayers, they went back in. They passed the test of character and they do qualify as Canadian heroes.

    Sonia married Rev. David Lloyd GRANT on 9 Aug 1954 in Lancaster, Saint John, New Brunswick. David was born on 8 Dec 1924 in Saint John, Saint John, New Brunswick; died on 15 Jul 1965 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    From New Brunswick Author Portal:
    Yvonne Wilson — Born Cougle in Saint John, when not quite four learned that HERE in not the only place. Infant imagination burst free; feet followed.
     Graduated from McAdam High, then Dalhousie University but with no healing of the itchy feet. Became a science teacher (B. Ed., University of New Brunswick) but at Campellton was pressed into teaching “composition”- anybody can teach English! Loved it. Taught English in Val-d’Or (Quebec), Montreal, Vancouver, New Zealand, Western Australia. Finished teaching career as first Instructor in the Writing Lab at University of New Brunswick, Saint John.
     Meanwhile, added the name Wilson, edited scientific papers, brought up two daughters, and began to write fiction. Became a book editor with DreamCatcher Publishing in Saint John, then with Trinity Enterprise (specialists in e-Books)
     Ten novels published and one book of non-fiction (about writing) with Allison Mitcham. Novels include the humorous Trinity Romances by “Briann Stuart.” And I think my masterpiece is coming up.

    How has New Brunswick influenced your work?
     When you drive over the Petersville hill and see fog ahead, you are coming home. When you feel the plane begin to descend, you smile; you are coming home. When you wake on the train and see fresh snow on the spruce trees that are sliding by, you are coming home.
     I have never seen a bird I didn’t remember or a field of wild flowers under a summer sun; and every one of them stands in comparison with gulls in fog, black flies in dandelions, or the tiny ants in a bouquet of daisies. New Brunswick is home, anchor, standard of reference, behind every inspiration.

    What is your favourite New Brunswick book, and why?
     My favourite New Brunswick Book is Funny Fables of Fundy, a book of poems for children by Grace Helen Mowat (1875 -1964). I lost the copy I had as a child and nobody rejoiced more mightily than I when it was reprinted some years ago. Who could have ever forgotten the epitaph? Jersey Lily. Paris Green / Jersey Lily no more seen.

    What do you consider to be the highlight of your career so far?
     Cyril Connelly has said “the true function of the writer is to produce a masterpiece and no other task is of any consequence…” (The Unquiet Grave) Experiencing the flow of a story as it writes itself on the page is life-enhancing. Feeling that another book is insisting it be written is life-sustaining – a “Rocky Mountain High”. Best of all is the promise that the masterpiece is yet to be. A successful launch is pleasant; compliments readers whose opinion one respects make the hours on the job worthwhile: a royalty cheque is good; but it’s the writing that counts. I have been lucky. As a book editor, I know that most manuscripts are returned to sender. But I think I would have written my books if not one of them had ever been published. If a story is in you, you have to let it out.
