Her sister Fern once said, "Two cookies wouldn't hurt me, Grandma!"

According to Fern Richards, Sarah knew Father Lacombe, famous priest of central Alberta. She would run and play with the neighboring Blackfoot children and loved the Native drums and music. When she heard it she couldn't help nodding her head and tapping her foot along with it.

Notes:

The first Calgary phone book from 1903 gives Irish Mellon's phone number as 53. He lived at the Blue Rock Hotel, which he managed. The address given is simply Stephen Avenue (now 8 Street SW).

An unidentified newspaper clipping (probably the Calgary Herald) says this:
"In the early 1900's the Blue Rock became the Albion... This was the era of proprietor Edward 'Irish' Mellon, a robust, jovial Irishman, as his nick-name implies, who operated the hotel from 1900 to 1915 when he and his sons enlisted in the First World War. Mrs. Mellon ran the hotel until his return in 1919 when they took a service-man's homestead near Youngtown."

Edward married Elizabeth M. Flitten MCGRAFF on 7 Jan 1892. Elizabeth was born on 7 Nov 1868 in Hong Kong; died on 14 Aug 1908. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
