student his education in france and belgium was of no particular benefit when he began to cultivate the friendship of braves and chieftians in indian settlements throughout ontario and quebec the life was hard but the pleasure ample to compensate the main factor behind his decision to remain with the indians is reflected in an array of pictures on the wall of his home near bala a colored print shows the king and queen beside it in a gilt frame is the likeness of mary martin the darkhaired squaw in the yellow silk dress who became his wife sister hilda might not have understood there was talk after her death that the 30 years of solitary existence were caused by williams decision to live with the indians mr kendall differs his mother after all had been the perfect honeymoon host when the newlyweds visited the family estate at sinnington the couple had lived in toronto on two occasions they purchased an eightroom house in parkdale but soon tired of city life there was too much work to be done in the field there were still indians to be won over to christianity the passing of time hasnt changed things thats why the minister has airmailed instructions to his cousin mrs winnifred franks at lodge pickering to care for the estate hell continue to live at the old manse with tasso his pet cocker spaniel with his multitudes of indian friends and with the memories of his wife his ancestoral home is part of british history it was built on the site once occupied by the mansion of catherine parr henry the eighths sixth queen when william sold hilda the property and moved to canada in 190 his sister retired into a type of seclusion which became more mark ed as the years wore on our grandparents shut them selves away and avoided people he explained that kind of existence would never do for a man who abandoned wealth and position for the role of an indian missionary among mr kendalls fondest reflections are those concerning his wife it was during services in a protestant school room that he met the girl in the yellow silk dress mrs martin had been married at the age of 15 to a brave from the mium list without delay if it has to hurt production
