Label TextGeorge DeKay is the son of Edna Muriel Gray and Perry DeKay. Edna's parents were Carling Gray and Mary MacKey of Komoka. The DeKays are descended from the United Empire Loyalist of Dilman Kinsey who came to Waterloo County (Doon) in 1800. Edna was a nurse in London from c. 1919 until her marriage at the age of 29. According to George, this wreath was created in the 1930s, and used until at least the 1950s. The donor recalls their use during his childhood in the 1940s and '50s.
