Note

George "Edwin" Brown's grandfather, William Brown originally purchased the 100 acre farm in 1887 in Margate, PEI, Canada. It remained in the Brown family for three generations (1887-1987) for a total of 100 years. In 1915, the Brown Farm became known as "Bonnie View Farm".

The Brown's were well known for raising Silver Foxes and showing them at exhibitions (including the CNE-Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, Ontario) across Canada and the USA.

Bonnie View Farm was also a very well known Bed & Breakfast stop for numerous tourists who visited PEI over the years.

After suffering his second heart attack, Edwin Brown sold 90 acres of farm land, and most of the farm buildings in 1979. He kept the main house with 10 acres of land, and another farm building. Edwin's wife, Ella died in 1982. Edwin remained in the main house and 10 acres of land until his death on November 25, 1987. The Brown house stood empty for the first time in 100 years. Edwin's four daughters inherited the house and the remaining 10 acres of land, which has since been sold.

The "Bonnie View Farm" sign was removed from the front of the Brown house and is now in the possession of Edwin's nephew, Jack Sinclair Ketchum.

Jack Ketchum is proudly displaying the "Bonnie View Farm" sign on his 70 acre farm in Maine, USA, as of the late 1980's. Unfortunately, the original sign has been destroyed over the years due to exposure to sun, rain, and snow. A new sign was made (an exact duplicate) and is now displayed in place of the old one, and will remain displayed on Jack S. Ketchum's farm.6

Grave Reference: Panel 105. "During the Second World War more than 116,000 men and women of the Air Forces of the British Commonwealth gave their lives in service. More than 17,000 of these were members of the Royal Canadian Air Force, or Canadians serving with the Royal Air Force. Approximately one-third of all who died have no known grave. Of these, 20,450 are commemorated by name on the Runnymede Memorial, which is situated at Englefield Green, near Egham, 32 kilometres by road west of London. The design of the Runnymede Memorial is original and striking. On the crest of Cooper's Hill, overlooking the Thames, a square tower dominates a cloister, in the centre of which rests the Stone of Remembrance. The cloistered walks terminate in two lookouts, one facing towards Windsor, and the other towards London Airport at Heathrow. The names of the dead are inscribed on the stone reveals of the narrow windows in the cloisters and the lookouts. They include those of 3,050 Canadian airmen. Above the three-arched entrance to the cloister is a great stone eagle with the Royal Air Force motto, "Per Ardua ad Astra". On each side is the inscription:

"IN THIS CLOISTER ARE RECORDED THE NAMES OF TWENTY THOUSAND AIRMEN WHO HAVE NO KNOWN GRAVE. THEY DIED FOR FREEDOM IN RAID AND SORTIE OVER THE BRITISH ISLES AND THE LANDS AND SEAS OF NORTHERN AND WESTERN EUROPE". In the tower a vaulted shrine, which provides a quiet place for contemplation, contains illuminated verses by Paul H. Scott."
