"A Woman Fiend," Ottawa Citizen, November 15, 1895.
George Everett Greene died of ill-treatment at the hands of his caregiver in the Township of Keppel, Ontario, on November 9, 1895. His caregiver was charged with murder, but the case was dropped by default. The story of Everett Greene prompted the public to question the juvenile immigration scheme.
