The Society’s records

Everything the Society’s own records say of Winnifred Comfort: the offices held, the standings conferred, and the awards won. Where the records are silent, so is this part of the page.

In memoriam · 1996

A founding member of the Hamilton Leathercraft Guild in 1956, present at its 35th-anniversary charter-member gathering in 1991. "During 1996, the guild lost a founding member, Winnie Comfort from Smithville"; no further detail given by that source. The Society's certification records carry her as Winnifred Comfort; both forms are hers, and "Winnie" is kept here since it is what this source and the branch's own 1991 anniversary retrospective print.
