Poet, Alma Frances McCollum was born December 7, 1872 (not 1879) in Orford, Ontario. She died in Toronto, March 21, 1906, not long after she moved there, having spent most of her life in Peterborough, Ontario. She is buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto, Ontario.
Her two sisters, twins Mary A. & Alice Dawson McCollum are buried (both unmarked) with Alma. They took their own lives in 1934 in Bellingham Washington. They were 70 years old.
Not far from Alma Frances McCollum’s grave is the Mount Pleasant Muse.
