Historical information

Dr Harry Jenkins owned Churchill Island from 1936 to 1963 and bequeathed it to Margaret Campbell on his death.

The item was given to Arthur Evans, a family friend, on the day of the auction sale of artefacts when she sold the island, approximately 1973.

The document demonstrates Harry Jenkins interest and committment to farming on Churchill Island and provides information on farming of the era.
