Roberta Angell (October 26th, 1914 – October 21st, 2006)

Roberta Angell was the descendant of the first English family to establish itself as farmer in Beaurepaire. She was the last child of William Nevin Angell (1873 – 1956) and Hannah Hodgson (1878 – 1924) to survive.

This couple had 7 children out of which 4 lived to be adult:
Doris (1906-1998), Cecil (1908-1980), Earl (1911-1966) and Roberta (1914-2006).
None of the children married, leaving no descendant.

Roberta Angell was devoted to her community and to her family. She was attached to her City and its history. She lived in the ancestral house of farm 5, at 530 Lakeshore Road, in Beaconsfield. This house was built for John, William Nevin’s father, in 1860. In 2001, at Roberta Angell’s request, who wanted to insure the preservation of her house, the City of Beaconsfield recognized the historical value of this house by citing it as historical monument.

William Nevin Angell (1873-1956) et Hannah Hodgson

William Nevin Angell, son of John Angell, is the grandson of William Angell and Mary Garbutt, the ancestors who acquired farm #5 in 1840 to become the first English farming family to establish themselves in Beaurepaire. The farmhouse at 530 Lakeshore Road was built in 1860 for John Angell, father of William Nevin. In 2001, the City of Beaconsfield cited this heritage house, at the request of Roberta Angell, daughter of William Nevin, the last Angell to live in this house. The house is thus protected from demolition.
