• Notes

  Born to parents of French Canadian descent, Erma was the fifth of nine children born to Elise Elizabeth Hamel (Mrs. Louis Gonzague Gagnon). Her first language was French which the family spoke at home. However, as her siblings began school, English became the spoken language. Erma was a tom boy, and preferred working in the wheat fields with her brothers rather than joining her sisters doing housework. She even took flying lessons with her brothers.
