This 1909 newspaper article describes the arrival of Mrs. Quong Lock, grandmother of interviewee Keith Lock. The article serves as evidence that there were very few Chinese women in Toronto, Ontario at this time. The reporter describes Mrs. Quong Lock’s appearance, clothing, and demeanor in great detail. The story also notes that her beauty is ‘striking’ and that she had a ‘dazzling smile that set the hearts of the unmarried men in the room going pit-a-pat.’
