Rosalind Shirley Goodall was a medical illustrator in Montreal who produced many illustrations for McGill University physicians predominantly during the 1930s. She was born in Montreal on 23 December 1913. The daughter of the Dr. James Robert Goodall (1878-1947) clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at McGill from 1912-1944 and Beatrice D. Weir Goodall (died 1949), she was a pupil at The Study, a Montreal private girls school, from at least 1924-1930 (and possibly earlier). There, she was a student of Ethel Seath, a painter, art instructor at The Study for over 40 years, and member of the Beaver Hall Group of Women Painters, who exhibited in London, England, in 1925. After her graduation from The Study, Goodall went to Johns Hopkins to study medical illustration. Goodall married John Fitzwilliam Stairs (1913-1999) on 26 December 1939, at which point she retired from illustration. She died in May 1969 at the Homeopathic Hospital where her brother Graydon Goodall was surgeon.

George Oliver Goodhue was born on January 2, 1847, in Danville, Quebec. He was the son of Joseph Lord Goodhue, who owned the J.L. Goodhue & Sons tannery. He published articles on bee-keeping in the 1880s. In the 1890s he started a petition to raise funds to purchase a new mastiff for Helen Keller, and contacted Helen Keller's teacher about funding her education.
He died on June 25, 1901, in Danville, Quebec.

William Goodhugh, his father’s namesake, was born in St. Marylebone, London, the son of a publisher, bookseller, biblical scholar, and the author of The English Gentleman’s Library Manual, or, a Guide to the Formation of a Library of Select Literature. Young Goodhugh left Britain in 1850 and ended up in Victoria, Australia, where in 1854 he married his first wife, Eliza Proudfoot Garie, a Scot from Perth. They had four children but his younger son had died by the time the family moved to Montreal in the early 1860s. Both of his daughters soon died in Montreal, where according to the 1871 Canadian census, he described himself as a merchant. His wife died shortly afterward, but in 1878, he married Mary Steele Powell. They had two daughters. Goodhugh’s older son, William Garie, already a young man, had become a clerk (according to the 1881 Canadian census) and married in 1886. The older Goodhugh’s second marriage was almost as ill-fated as the first: his older daughter died in 1904, followed by both William Garie and his second wife in 1908.

Edwin Goodman was born on April 22, 1833, in Grimsby, Ontario.

A graduate of the University of Toronto, he moved to St. Catharines, Ontario where he was a physician (coroner) for 30 years and chairman of the St. Catharines Board of Health. He aided in the establishment of the Royal Arch and Templar Masonry. He was a surgeon in the 19th regiment during the Fenian Raids (1866, 1870-1871). He also served as a mayor of St. Catharines (1891-1892).

In 1857, he married Caroline Elizabeth Cross (1836–1890) and in 1891, he remarried Jessie Georgina McCallum (1838–1926). He died on April 9, 1908, in St. Catharines, Lincoln County, Ontario.
