Biographical history
Harriett B. Dunbrack was probably the daughter of Henry Dunbrack of Saint John, New Brunswick. She married Frank E. Holman, of Holman and Duffell, importers of wallpaper and window shades in 1892, and they had at least three children, Douglas Blythe (b. 1895), Gerda Arminel (b. 1898) who married Donald Foster in 1924 and Arthur Carleton (b.1900). Harriett Holman died sometime after 1954 and Frank E. Holman died in 1927.
Harriett was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Natural History Society and secretary-treasurer from 1892. The Auxiliary was established in 1881 as an associate branch of the Natural History Society, which did not allow women as members. In 1954, at the invitation of the president of the Ladies Auxiliary, Harriett Holman gave an address about her memories of the early days of the Auxiliary.
