| 23904 | The Belle of Bonhamtown He had wondered how she would act when they would meet again. She was 10 when he left; when they met the next time in the Guest house, she was 14, & the real belle of Bonhamtown. She never told me she was pretty, but she was. Mrs. Cornelia Dunham, who was an associate, & I suspect an ambitious rival, informed me in after years that Molly was beautiful at 14 for many years thereafter. She was charming at 60. Lewis knew she was fair to look upon & found her as faithful as she was fair. He was very much ashamed of it, & could not account for it, but it was impossible to refrain from indulging in a flood of tears when they met; & she cried too. He could say but one word & that was, PEACE. That one short word spoke volumes about the stormy past, the delicious present, & the time to come. Lewis & Molly had been warm friends at school, at picnics & other places before the war, & now they were ardent lovers. In 1794, Lewis went as a New Jersey militiaman to help quell the "Whiskey Riot" at Pittsburg. The expedition was successful & he soon returned, glad as ever to see Bonhamtown & Molly. He & Molly Compton were married in the Thomas Guest house, in Bonhamtown, January 25th, 1797. The gallant 14 year old lad became my grandfather, & Molly Compton was finally my excellent grandmother. Dr. D.H. Thickstun has hung up in a safe place in his office in Plainfield, the musket which was surrendered by the Scotch Sergeant to his brave great-grandfather. These reminiscences, & many more "of ye olden times," I have heard substantially, as here stated, from the lips of my grandmother, the once "Pretty Molly Compton."

| 23905 | The Birth Records for Prince Edward County show that Joel was born on October 15, 1871 not October 14, 1872. Also the Birth Notice states that the parents were living on a farm in Sophiasburg twp. According to Charles Goodmurphy, his father Joel was born in a little red house situated at the NW corner of the Gilead and Town Line Roads. The house sat on a 30 acre parcel of land. The little red house was eventually moved to the west side of the TownLine Road, and was used for a honey house (beekeeping). The little red house still stands today (January 1996). Joel and Lillie Belle were probably married on Sept 16,1892. It is believed that Joel and Lillie Belle lived in the little red house for some years and were there in 1912 when Lillie Belle passed away at the age of 35. Joel remarried to Charlotte (Lottie) Vancleaf on May 22, 1915 in Picton, Ontario. Joel and wives Lillie Belle and Lottie are buried in the Wellington Village Cemetery. Over the years, Joel and Lottie moved about several times. In 1925, they moved to Buck Trumpours place (east of Niles Corners), then back to the Town Line. In 1926, they moved to the Gore Road, then in 1930 they moved back to the Town Line, south of where Clifford and Gladys McFaul had their Pea Viner Processing Station. The Gerty Winters house at this site was moved in later years to Wellington near where the Texaco Service Station was located. From 1932 to 1940, Joel and Lottie lived on the Swamp College Road on the Hutchinson Family property (where the Zachariah family lived in the 1960's). Joel died in 1940 and Lottie moved to Wellington, first to an apartment over top of the Bank of Nova Scotia, then across from Bill Davern's store, then to the Town Line Road - just south of St. Francis of Rome Roman Catholic Church (to the Mickey Donovan house). She lived there until she died in 1954. | GOODMURPHY, JOEL (I161)

| 23906 | The Blakelys merit attention, in the first place, as one of the oldest families in Athol. The pioneer came originally from Scotland, and that, he prided himself on the land which gave him birth was proclaimed by his continuing to wear the kilt, first in Ireland and then in Canada, where the kiltie regiments have, in more modern times, made the garment popular as a military dress. Somewhere in the closing years of the eighteenth century, he moved to the north of Ireland, where he married a woman of Irish birth - Ann Keogh - and we find blended in their descendants, those traits of tenacity and energy which have characterised the Scotch-Irish race throughout its history. At what precise period he left Ireland for America is not known, but having settled, as far as can be learned, in Massachusetts, he joined the British army at an early period of its ill fated struggle with the Revolutionists, and so distinguished himself as to rise before the close of the war to the rank of colonel. When the war was over he retired to his home, but was not permitted to remain there. It is told of him, that an attempt being made at this time to take him prisoner, he hid himself while his wife watched for his safety. There is a horn, now in the possession of the family, made from a fine specimen of large sea shell, on which his faithful spouse blew a blast as a signal for him to remain in seclusion. And soon the Colonel with his wife, and their seven children, the youngest being then seven years old, removed to Montreal, and thence to Kingston, where he recieved an appointment from the British Government to keep what was called "the King's store". While at Kingston, though well known on the other side of Lake Ontario as a U.E. Loyalist, an effort was made to bribe him to return, by offering him property. But his loyalty was not to be bought, nor was he to be hoodwinked to his own destruction. When he was retired from his appointment as keeper of the King's store at Kingston, he came to Picton. Picton, he found to be a hemlock swamp, infested with mosquitoes. Not liking that neighborhood, he struck an Indian trail which brought him to the shores of East lake, where he bought the farm now owned by Benjamin F. and William S. Blakeley, his great grandsons, and occupied by the former. When he pitched his tent at Athol, he must have been in possession of considerable means; circumstantial evidence to this effect is afforded by an incident which transpired soon after his arrival. He had left a coat hanging in a shed, and found, when he next required it, that mice had made a nest in one of the pockets in which he had left six hundred dollars in bills. James Blakely continued to prosper, until at his death two thousand acres of rich land were bequeathed to his family. He died December 25th, in his 84th year, and his wife on January 13th, of the same year, aged seventy. Three of his sons did three years' service in connection with the British Army at Halifax. The present dweller on the homestead treasures many valuable family heirlooms. Among those is the horn above referred to, which did the Blakely family such good service; the dress sword of the Colonel' one of his epaulets; a pair of pinchbeek candlesticks; a miniature barrrel which served to carry a ration of wiskey on the march; and last, but not least, a wonderfully carved powder-horn, bearing the date 1761. The Pioneer's grandson, William B. Blakely, was a councillor in the township of Athol, and in his place moved the resolution to abolish the license of intoxicants in the district. This was carried, and many imagined the Council had seen the last of William B.; but, as the event proved, this bold stroke gave him a long lease of office, he was elected by acclamation for ten consecutive years thereafter, and was also appoinited License Inspector for the county. He was justice of the Peace in Athol for twenty years; and, as a member of the Methodist church, recording steward for over thirty years; a position now held by his son, Wm. S. Blakely. He was Captain of the Athol militia reserve for a number of years, and was only prevented from serving in '37 by a fall from his horse in which he seriously injured one of his knees. Benjamin F. eldest son of William Blakely, who now resides on the old homestead, with his brother William S., owns a cheese factory which has carried the fame of Canada back to the country whence the Colonel came. It is one of the largest factories of the kind in Canada, and was operated first by a joint stock comany. It passed successively into the hands of four or five persons, under whom it had a measure of prosperity, but nothing like the success which has attended its present ownership and management during the past eleven years. Its present output is from fifty to fifty-five thousand dollars' worth of cheese per annum. Benjamin F. Blakely has been a Justice of the Peace for seven, and a councillor for three years. Elgin A., another brother, was Deputy Minister of Education for Manitoba for twelve years, and resigned to become Provincial Manager of the Continental Life Insurance Company at Winnipeg. Augusta C. a sister, is Lady Superintendent of the Victorian Order of Nurses, Yorktown, N.W.T. | BLAKELY, James M (I16387)

| 23929 | THE ERSKINE CLAN PAGE: < A little history The first Erskine on record was Henry de Erskine, being witness to a charter by King Alexander II, dated 12 March, 1226. A Sir Robert Erskine was the High Chamberlain of Scotland in 1350, and Sir Thomas Erskine, before 1371, was keeper of Edinburgh Castle and Sheriff of Edinburgh. It was not until around 1438 that an Erskine (Sir Robert Erskine) first became a Lord. In 1457, the Erskines (by then the Earls of Mar) seem to have fallen out of favour with the crown and had their land and Earldom withdrawn, until 1565, when the Earldom was settled on one of the King's sons (later to be restored). The most stable period of our history seems to have begun in the early 16th century, when the Erskines, as favoured courtiers, became the custodians of the royal persons (to protect them from being kidnapped by ambitious barons). This responsibility extended from the care of the children of King James V, by the 5th Lord Erskine, to the care of Mary Queen of Scots as a child (at Stirling Castle), and later to the the care of her year-old son under the 6th lord Erskine (wherein hangs an interesting rumour). In 1571 Lord Erskine became Prince Regent, but he died a year later. The hereditary tradition of royal guardianship continued under the reign of James VI, while at the same time the Erskines held the keepership of Stirling Castle; a hereditary responsibility of the Erskines dating back to the early 14th century, and the custody of Edinburgh Castle. The 7th Earl, John, born in 1562, was a long time friend of King James VI, and entered public life by seizing Stirling Castle from his uncle Alexander. He was charged with the care of the infant Prince Henry (over whom there was a custody battle with Elizabeth I), and in 1601 was on of the two ambassodors sent to the English Parliament to press the claim of King James to the English crown. The best known Erskine in history was John (otherwise known as Bobbing John), who became Earl of Mar in 1689, and was charged with carrying out the final Act of Union between the English and Scottish Parliaments (1707). He became Secretary of State, and a member of the Privy Council, managing the affairs of Scotland under most of the reign of Queen Anne, but later became disillusioned by the Union and deprived of his Governership of Stirling Castle by King George I. He then committed himself to the Jacobite cause, securing the landing of King James at Peterhead, but was finally forced into exile in France, where he was Jacobite minister at the French Court. He was known as 'a man of good sense, but bad morals'. A branch of the Erskines also inherited the Earldom of Buchan, and the Erskines also hold the Earldom of Kellie. The present Chief of the clan is Jamie Erskine, Earl of Mar and Kellie, who lives in Renfrewshire. There is a story that Mary Queen of Scots' infant died soon after birth and that the future James VI was in fact an infant son of the Earl of Mar (6th Lord Erskine) substituted in place of the dead Prince on the instructions of Queen Mary. This tradition was supported by the finding, in 1830, of the body of an infant walled up in the royal apartments in Edinburgh Castle, where Mary is said to have given birth to the child. Portraits of the 2nd Earl of Mar and James VI were said to have shown an uncanny similarity of facial features. | ERSKINE, Unknown (I4725)

Rhoda passed away in 1888, and Joel returned to Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. There he met Sarah Kingston, who he married on Feb 28 1891. Joel and Sarah went back to North Dakota. In 1911 they moved to Stilwell (a town named for his mother Lucretia Stilwell). They lived with their son Alden Williamson and his family. Joel died in 1912. Sarah went back to Ontario, where she died on Dec 29,1924 in Prince Edward County, Ontario. | WILLIAMSON, Joel Halstead (I56)

| 23933 | The family name Robinds was also spelled Robins in some records. According to information printed in Pieces of the Past, Daniel was captured at the Battle of Worcester and in 1651 was among 274 Scottish prisoners shipped by Cromwell from London to New England. He is listed in the Ships Passenger List of the "John and Sara" and arrived in New England in May 1652. Daniel was sold to Nathaniel Foote to serve 6-8 years as an indentured servant before being granted freedom. When Nathaniel Foots died before Daniel's indentureship was completed, Daniel stayed with the family. He had been treated well and held Mr. Foote in the highest esteem, so much so that Daniel named one of his sons after him. Hope died prior to Daniel. Daniel's last request was to be buried at Woodbridge beside Hope, thus his last request was honored and his body was taken on a 28 mile journey to Woodbridge and buried in an unmarked grave by Hope. This was taken from Bible records and old family documents. There are no pictures of Daniel but he was described as 5', bright blue eyes, dark thick curly hair and played a harp. Even though Daniel had no reading skills, he enjoyed his wife reading him the Bible 1714 June 22. Robins, Daniel, of Crossweks [Crosswicks], Monmouth Co., yeoman; will of.

During the War of Independence, two brothers were taken prisoners and sent to the City of New York, unknown to the rest of the family. The treatment of Quaker non-combatants in New England was not less severe than that meted out to their co-religionists in Pennsylvania, as one of the Bull brothers died from violence and privation, while the other survived long enough to be rescued by his relations, and died soon after. His son Josiah's family settled in Hallowell Township in Prince Edward County. His son George's family settled near Colborne in Northumberland County. | BULL, Josiah (I5980)

| 23942 | The following is a summary from "The Family of Richard Smith" by F. K. Smith Based on Richard Smith's academic and intellectual skills and other clues, Frederick K. Smith surmised that Richard was brought up in London, England and that he received a very good education that may have included legal training. He states that Richard likely sailed from England in the ship John of London 2 Oct 1635 bound for St. Christopher's, West Indies. Smith suggests he may have decided to stay in New England and also suggests he was in Boston or Cambridge for a few years before moving to Southampton, Long Island where he was considered an early settler. He was very involved in community business and held public offices there until 1656 when a critical event took place. Richard was returning from a ten-week trip he had taken to England. Smith says: "In August 1656 there landed on the shores of Massachusetts Bay the forty-one passengers of the ship Speedwell with Robert Lock as master which had sailed from Gravesend, England on the thirtieth day of May. Among them there were eight designated as Quakers and, of the others not so designated, one was Richard Smith, aged forty-three years. Quakers, not being viewed as desirable additions to the community, the eight who had been entered as such on the passenger list were arrested and held in prison for some weeks and then sent away from the colony. Richard Smith was accorded a similar reception as it appeared he had come to adopt the religious views of the Quakers." While in prison for three weeks, Richard received a letter from the Governor and Magistrates of Massachusetts before his release suggesting that he consult ministers of the church to understand the error of his ways. Smith goes on with the following excerpt from "Felt's Ecclesiastical History of New England:" "Smith was of Long Island. [Upon his release] he attended public worship and, after the minister was done, publicly requested that, as the Governor desired him to converse with some of the ministers so that they might convince him of his error, they would accordingly address him. When told that the proposed interview was intended to be private, he wanted it otherwise. After three weeks detention he was sent home by water." Smith goes on later to say, "It is likely that ...... Richard Smith did not devote much time to theological matters and it is not likely that he adopted the whole body of Quaker doctrine as a serious religious conviction." Although some of his descendants were definitely Quakers and he was known as "Quaker Smith," there is no evidence of any affiliation of Richard Smith with a Society of Friends Meeting. None-the-less, according to Frederick K. Smith, Richard can be counted in 1656 as the first Quaker convert of North America. Following the events of August and September 1656 in Boston, the drama continued back in Southampton. On 17 Sep 1656, Richard was given orders to leave town for "unreverend carriage towards the magistrates" (Topping and Ogden). He had one week to depart or be fined. On 6 Oct 1656 he was fined five pounds for still being in the town. During that Fall, Richard removed to Setauket on the North side of Long Island. He worked for about twelve years to put together a very large block of land and in 1677 he received a "Second Patent" from Governor Andross. It was here that he established Smithtown and it remains a municipality on Long Island today. | SMITH, Richard (I2895)

| 23943 | The following is excerpted from the published genealogy of The Brooke-White Family (to Chase Jackson Brooke and his wife Lucy Moore Shaw) available on the Internet. Lindley's father, a Quaker, had fled the United States during the Revolution so Lindley was born in Nova Scotia. He was named for Lindley Murray, a celebrated grammarian and wealthy merchant of New York who "befriended Samuel Moore in the difficulties growing out of the war." (*) The family returned to New Jersey in 1810. Lindley was already a teacher at Nine Partners when Adam and Anne Mott moved there in 1811. He and Abigail became engaged when she was 17 and an assistant teacher at the school. The pay was not good so they moved to Rahwey, NJ where they opened a Quaker School. Their son Edward Mott Moore was born there in 1814. In 1815 they moved to New York City to take charge of the Monthly Meeting School of Friends on Pearl Street. Lindley and Abigail made their home with her parents, Adam and Anne Mott, on Lombardy Street. However in 1817 they rented a house on Chrystie Street. He had been earning $1,200 a year but in 1820 times were tough and his salary was reduced. Lindley decided to give up the school and move to Flushing and opened a boarding school for boys in 1820. "Seven years later he bought five acres of land in Westchester Village, on the road to New York, about opposite the Friends Meeting house, and removed his school to this place in the Spring of 1828. Here also he prospered, and his residence here is several times referred to in family letters. But he had laid up money and was beginning to think of retiring from the arduous labors of a school to the tranquility of a farm. A visit that he and his wife made at Rochester confirmed him in this desire, and after considerable inquiry and negotiation he purchased, in 1829, the farm of 170 acres then occupied by Erastus Spalding for $5,200. The farm was beautifully situated, on high ground, on what was alter know as Lake Avenue in the City of Rochester, being the direct road from the City to lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Genesee River." (*) In 1831 he built a "two story house in the Greek revival style." (Later the house became a convent for the Sisters of Nazareth Academy.) Many young, educated, prosperous and forward thinking men were drawn to Rochester in the 1830's. It became a focal point for many agitating ideas. There were a significant number of Quakers living there pushing for social reforms. Lindley helped form the Anti-Slavery Society in 1838 and became its first president. He was also a teacher at the first "High School". His son, Edward Mott, also became well known in the society and was one of the best surgeons in the state. By 1870, Lindley was living with Edward and his family. He was a portly man of commanding height and mien, of benevolent countenance and expressive features. His students will not soon forget his kindly ways, nor the sonorous tones with which he repeats the verses of Milton and other English poets." from the History of Haverford College by a student of Lindley M. Moore, Richard Wood. (*) from "Adam and Anne Mott" by Thomas C. Cornell | MOORE, Lindley Murray (I1940)

The last George had two sons who both died without having children. One died in 1877 and the other in 1898. The seat of the family was at Shanbally Castle, Clogheen, co. Tipperary with a London residence at31 Old Burlington St. W. The 2nd Viscount's clubs were Travellers' and Kildare St. Dublin. They advertised for my grandfather's older brother , as far as I can tell somewhere in between 1806 and 1811. James apparently made some move towards going to either England or Ireland- he got a passport and then he died. The next in line was my grandfather and he just let it ride and said they probably only wanted him to pay some back taxes. He was a real laid back kind of person and I guess between the Great War in 1914 and not so good times after they kind of let it go. The lawyer that advertised for James Lismore /Charles Lismore was named Proudlove. He was in Toronto. I only know these things second hand because it was Wilfred Lismore son of James who died in 1911 that had some proof.] He died in 1982 and nobody else cared about it and by the time I got any of his papers a lot of the stuff had disappeared, including all the certificates daughter claims to have nothing else and his widow (second wife for two years before he died) took everything he had but told me she didn't have any certificates or anything else. ] | LIZMORE, Wilfred Charles (I364)

The Mattice Coat of Arms is described in what Douglas Mattice (b. 1958) referred to as "our family book" as follows: "The Coat of Arms consists of two banners, one scarlet over one of black. On the scarlet banner are three dice. Above the banner, a helmut or crown of Gold, with a forearm and hand holding and ax. The sleeve is of gold as is the ax handle. The blade is silver. Under the banner is a ribbon banner carrying the motto "Gro - Quad - Gram" - I Shall Be What I Have Been. In the book there is a picture of Joseph Mattice. He is wearing clothing that seem to be from the late 1800s but there is no date assigned to it. | MATTICE, Luella (Ella) Jane (I22)

| 23946 | The following was written and read by Jay Moore, Gladys' oldest son at a Mother's Day service of the First Unitarian Congregation of Waterloo, 10 May 1998. "My Mom was the best Mom in the neighbourhood when I was a boy. She could throw a baseball better than any other mom I knew. She was often the one to suggest we go out and play catch or hit a few grounders for practice. Dad didn't like sports much. When he wasn't cutting the back field or fixing the car, he liked to sleep with the newspaper . When the young peoples groups from our church came out to our place for a baseball game and cornroast, Mom would be the pitcher for her team. She was a good pitcher. She even owned her own baseball glove. I was so proud of her. "I was proud of her, too, when it came time in the church service for people to give their testimony. She would stand and speak longer and louder than any other mom and most of the dads. My dad was a very quiet and shy man who agonized every time he had to speak up in public but Mom had a real flair for public speaking. When she led prayers, she could string her thoughts together with the same flowery language that the minister used and her voice carried the strength and conviction of her unshakable faith. Sometimes I would peek during prayers and open my eyes to see her with her face pointed heaven-ward, eyes closed, earnest furrows in her brow urging her words through the ceiling to God. I always knew that she could have been a minister if there weren't any rules against women becoming ministers. "She could have been a lawyer, too. She was smart. When the Jehovah 's Witnesses came to the front door, Dad would be polite, listen a little and say "No thanks" but Mom relished a good fight for righteousness and truth. I was so proud. She could out talk them better than anyone I'd ever heard! She knew her scripture and she would thrust and parry with chapter and verse, foiling their lunges with a string of quotations of Bible verses delivered with such panache and conviction that they would retreat with their heads spinning. They didn't know what hit them and, if they didn't get out of there quickly, they might get converted to our faith by succumbing to this battling Christian soldier. "As the years passed, I began to see things differently. The words of her dramatic prayers and testimony were no longer the words of my heart and her righteous, missionary zeal was no longer a way of life for me. Like my father, I don't like sports much anymore and his qualities of humility, gentleness and compassion gained importance over time, balancing the force of my mother's powerful single-mindedness. I have my own road to travel now and it's a different one but I will always be proud of her for so much that she did including throwing a baseball better than any other mom I knew." | PEARSON, Gladys Margaret (I151)

| 23947 | The following was written by James Henry Moore, elder son of Edith (Fern) Moore. "My mother, Edith Moore (nee Fern), was the youngest child of Henry Fern, Packing Case Maker, born June 23, 1857, Hulme Charlton, Manchester, England and Ellen Downes, born December 10, 1859, Louth, Lincolnshire, England, with four sisters and three bothers. Henry and Ellen were married March 27, 1880 and their first child, Margaret, was born February 8, 1881. "My mother was born April 9, 1896 and her mother, Ellen, died March 25, 1902 in Bolton, Lancashire when my mother was five years old. Her father did not remarry and continued to live in Bolton, Lancashire until his death in 1937. In Lancashire it was customary for girls to go into the textile mills to work at an early age (10 - 12) and my mother's sisters were already working when their mother died. "School started at age three and my mother, who was five, and her brother George, who was eight, were students at the time of their mother's death so that none of the familty were at home on a continuous basis requiring constant supervision. At the time of their mother's death, the two older sisters, Clara at 20 and Margaret at 21 years of age, took over her responsibilities in the home and gave guidance and protection to the younger children. And when they married a few years later, they continued to shoulder the responsibility for their "baby sister" with help from Beatrice and Emma who were then also old enough to provide the necessary assistance and guidance to their "baby sister." "In Lancashire, in the decade before World War I (which started in 1914), there was a definite trend towards emigration to Canada and this family was no exception. Although Henry, the father, stayed behind in Bolton, by the time war was declared the entire family had relocated to the east end of Hamilton, although brother Jim was soon to move to Arizona and susequently to Los Angeles and, some time later, Beatrice and Emma were to relocate in San Francisco. "During the war years (1914 - 1918), my mother was at the stage of her life when girls normally had an active social life and she was no exception. She was active in the Y.W.C.A. and excelled in gymnastics. She was active in volunteer work with the Red Cross and, in 1917, at the age of 21, she was made a Life Member of the Canadian Red Cross Society for her efforts in raising money. "At that time, she was working at the Hamilton Westinghouse plant testing gas meters. When she first arrived from England, she worked in the knitting mills which was the most logical occupation for an immigrant from Lancashire, the centre of the English textile industry. "She had a boyfriend who went away to the war and did not come back. "In 1918, she decided to visit her brother Jim who was in Arizona prospecting for gold. While she travelled by train for most of the trip, she finsihed up travelling by stage coach to reach her destination. She spent some time there and then moved with him to Los Angeles before deciding to return to the Hamilton area. "She met my father in 1919 and they were married May 12, 1920. They celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1970 with many good wishes including a telegram from Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. "My mother was a very outgoing, social person. During the early days of her marriage, while she lived in Mount Hamilton, she was an active member of the Mount Hamilton United Church and Ladies Auxiliary. She was also a hard worker in the Ladies Institute in that area. After relocating at 40 Stirton Street in Hamilton, she transferred her activities to St. Giles United Church where she was, again, very active in the Ladies Auxiliary. "In 1979, she was formally recognized for 62 years of volunteer service when she received her second citation from the Red Cross. "During her lifetime, she enjoyed music and played both violin and piano, although she was more accomplished as a pianist. Even during the closing years of her life, she retained the ability to play for others. "After my father died in 1972, she remained a widow, living alone in her apartment on Balmoral Avenue at the Delta, except for a few years when she was joined by her sister, Beatrice, who died February 2, 1981. Eventually, it was necessary for her to move into St. Joseph's Villa, Dundas, in June, 1984, where supervisory care was available. "Edith Moore died October 21, 1990 in her 95th year from congestive heart failure." | FERN, Edith (I18)
