Biographical history

Educator and author Edith Murray Creighton was the eldest child of Graham and Catherine Creighton, born August 9, 1892 in Halifax. A graduate of Dalhousie University (B.A. 1915), she also attended McGill (M.A. 1926), the Sorbonne, and Columbia. Her teaching career included positions at Elmira College in New York, McMaster University, Halifax Ladies College, Dartmouth High School, the Queen Elizabeth High School, and also brought her to Manitou, Manitoba and St. John's, Newfoundland.

Edith travelled extensively to, among other places, Scotland, England, Korea, and Japan, as well as to Australia and Malaysia with the Canadian Federation of University Women in the 1960s. In later years, Edith Creighton began to write and publish short articles on various subjects and current events. Her works are known to have appeared in Saturday Night, The Halifax Chronicle Herald, The Bulletin (a publication of the Nova Scotia Teachers' Union), and Ward One Community Newspaper. She is also known to have used the pseudonym E. C. Raymur on at least one occasion. Edith Creighton was the last member of the Creighton family to reside at 1234 LeMarchant St. She died in Halifax in June of 1994.
