Biographical history

Cornelia Lehn grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan and received her MA from the University of Iowa.

She was a friend of Mary Percy Jackson, a physician, and Frank Jackson, a farmer, who were long-time residents of Keg River in northern Alberta. The Jacksons received the Master Farm Family award in 1953. In the late 1980s Cornelia retired to Chilliwack, British Columbia.
