The fonds consists of a number of booklets written by Isabel K. Eddy (IKE) relating to various family members. 'The Life of Robert Harkness, 1833-1883', and 'A Captain's Story: Donald Norval Eddy ~ 1918-1945', are tributes to her grandfather, and brother-in-law and his family, respectively. The former recounts among many, the story, based on letters home, of Robert Harkness' adventures with the famous cross-country trek of the Overlanders. The latter tells the story, based largely on letters he wrote home as well, of Donald Norval Eddy's time in England and France, as a Captain with the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, during World War Two. 'Thomas Henry Race, 1845-1924', tells the remarkable story of her paternal grandfather, from his days as an eye-witness at the Battle of Gettysburg, to his move to Mitchell, Ontario, where he began publishing the 'Mitchell Recordor', to his time as a Trade Commissioner, as a result of a political appointment arranged by Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, attending a large Exhibition in New Zealand. 'Letters of a Subaltern', divided into three parts, contain letters (1941-1945) home from the front during World War Two, from her husband-to-be, Robert C. Eddy.
