SpacerIn 1905 Renova Cottage was sold to Dr. Lambert Densmore who lived there until 1919. Dr. Densmore was born in Maitland, N.S. He graduated from Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario in 1901. He also attended Dalhousie University in Halifax. He came to Sherbrooke with some friends in the lumber business and was asked to set up a practice here. He married Mary Jean Murdock, daughter of Captain Murdock, and had two daughters. They also employed a maid named Rhoda Rudolph from Liscomb. He loved horses and raced on ice as well as the horse track. In 1915 he enlisted in the army and received the Military Cross. When he came home to Sherbrooke he only practiced for a short time before moving to Bathurst N.B., where he lived until his death in 1968 at 90 years of age.
