Emily LeBaron (April 1906 – June 10, 1983) (daughter of Jean B LeBaron and Joséphine Bean) was an artist, antiquarian, art teacher and community organizer, resident of North Hatley, MRC de Memphrémagog, in Estrie, in Quebec, Canada.
Emily LeBaron was a great friend of Janet Blake (married to Arthur Russell Virgin) who was an agricultural producer (Jersey dairy farm) and a philanthropist bringing the arts of all kinds.
The first floor consisted of a large kitchen and a large room for meetings of organizations (e.g. guides, scouts, women's clubs, the Legion, the Eastern Star), art exhibitions, training courses in particular pottery, weaving or painting for young people in summer.
The proceeds from this fair were used to cover the expenses of a building housing local charities, the North Hatley Community Club.
At a recognition dinner in Sept. 1979, Guild President Larry Shouldice said Emily LeBaron was the soul of the Piggery Theater.
The North Hatley Community Center was named Emily LeBaron's Flying Shuttle in her honor; it was so designated in 1980.
[14] In September 1979, the community of North Hatley paid warm tribute to Mrs. Janet Blake-Virgin (widow of Arthur Russell Virgin) (deceased 1981) and Miss Emily LeBaron during a meal community to recognize their dedication and support to many organizations in the region.
These two ladies had a great friendship between them; they often mingled socially and participated in common causes, notably the North Hatley Community Club and the Piggery Theatre.
In addition, she collected old items such as period prints, carvings, crafts, religious worship articles, kitchen utensils, toys, sporting goods, etc.
