Stephen Dale and Isabel Brown
Toronto Daily Star, March 7 1928
As it turned out, the marriage between Stephen Dale and Isabel Brown only lasted four years. There is a Wikipedia page for Isabel LeBourdais, as she eventually became: she joined the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the predecessor of the NDP, and married CCF politician D. M. LeBourdais in 1942. In 1966, she wrote The Trial of Steven Truscott, which was the first book to claim that Truscott had been wrongfully convicted of murder; her book led to a review of his case. His conviction was overturned in 2007.
The LeBourdaises had four children; one of their grandchildren, Mark LeBourdais, played in the ska band King Apparatus. She passed away in 2003; Mr. LeBourdais, who was 22 years her senior, had passed away nearly 40 years earlier.
