Autor

Rebecca Agatha Armour, a Canadian teacher and novelist, was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Her novel is considered to present a "rich depiction of New Brunswick social life during the 19th century." The objective was to safeguard "every right and institution which makes our beloved New Brunswick the pride of its loyal people." Armour was the eldest of four daughters born to grocer Joseph Armour (1798-1876) and his wife Margaret Hazlett (died 1891). Her father was from Coleraine, Ulster, and both of her parents were Irish immigrants. She had a Presbyterian background. She graduated from the local Provincial Teachers' College, a normal school, and received her teaching license on November 30, 1863. Armour taught in Fredericton for many years before relocating to Lancaster (now part of Saint John), most likely in May 1873, when her teaching permit was transferred there. She appears to have returned to Fredericton in 1878, when she married a carriage builder, John G. Thompson, on January 22, 1885. Thompson was likewise the child of Irish Presbyterians. They had no children. According to an unattributed comment in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, Armour was hailed as "one of the best lady teachers in the service of New Brunswick."
