Biographical history
Arthur Virgin was born in 1877. For many years, he was Manager of the Bank of Commerce in North Hatley. During World War I, Virgin took a particular interest in the work of the Canadian Red Cross Society in Europe. In 1965, he donated 4 acres of land to the Townships Playhouse Guild. Virgin accumulated a fortune worth many millions of dollars bequeathed by his wife, Jeannette Blake (died 1981) to four local institutions: the Sherbrooke Hospital, the Townships Playhouse Guild, the North Hatley Library, and St. Barnabas Anglican Church.
