Leaving for a hunting trip (1925). Photography taken in front of the house Sunnyside, Kamouraska
Private coll. (Caddell family).
In spite of the LeMesuriers’ financial problems at the beginning of the 20th century and the loss of several family members in the two world wars, summer life at Sunnyside continued to be easy for the LeMesuriers and their descendants. Swimming, tennis, golf, sailing, and—as we see here—hunting were among their favourite leisure activities.
In 1945, the day after his return from the war, Philip Caddell, the son of Irish and English immigrants, married Elga Ramsey (1917‒1995), daughter of Leonard Burton Ramsey and Estelle Hazel LeMesurier. Elga Ramsey Caddell inherited Sunnyside in 1981 and left it to her children when she died in 1995.
