• Notes

  The nickname "Rahno" comes from a mix of her name, SaRAH NOble. The birthdate comes from Burke's Peerage. They say she was born in Newcastle, NB. But the 1881 Census says born in Ontario. And Ontario ties in with the movements of her parents. After leaving school in Newcastle, NB, Rahno attended school and university in Edinburgh, for six years. In 1896 her father went to Scotland, for his health, and Rahno accompanied him In 1904 she was a Hospital Superintendent in Montreal and at the Hospital of the Good Samaritan in Los Angeles. In a letter from Rev. William Aitken to Miss Nan Judge of Roslin in Sep 1910, he mentions the sudden death of Dr Walker in CA. USA Rahno was asthmatic, as was her brother, William Her travel diary is now in the care of the British House of Commons Library. It was deposited there by Lord Beaverbrook's biographer, Michael Davie. She loved to travel and was often accompanied by her sister, "Gyp", Jean Stickney, who was also a widow. Once or twice the travels had to be cut short due to asthmatic attacks. Sarah Noble's monumental inscription reads; "Rahno Aitken Walker, daughter of Reverend William and Jane Aitken, died Victoria, British Columbia, Jun. 8th, 1945."
