Dorothe Comber's Cookies

Dorothe’s father, Walter Comber was the Oxford-trained educator brought over from England to tutor children in the Boyd Family—the family owned a very successful sawmill and much of Bobocaygeon. Later in life Walter opened Hillcroft, a private school on North Street. Dorothe taught home economics at high schools in Wingham and Port Perry. She returned to Bobcaygeon in summer, before retiring there. A devoted member of Trinity United Church, Dorothe was very interested in the community, and wrote the Amy Ellen Cosh Memorial History of the Village of Bobcaygeon in 1972 (honouring a long-time local librarian). Dorothe did not marry, but took a great interest in caring for neighbouring children, buying them ice cream and sharing her favourite cookies.
