101	F/L Glen Holland (J7917) was declared 'missing in action' on April 21, 1944 while serving as a RCAF pilot in RAF 605 Squadron, based in Manston, Kent, England. This squadron was a so-called 'intruder' squadron and at the time of his death was armed with Mosquito aircraft. He is buried in Reichswald Forest War Cemetery at Kleve, Germany.

102	Florence (1882-1969) married William Jones, a Welshman, in 1911. He was a veterinarian. They lived in North Gower, Ontario before moving to Chatham, New Brunswick, where he set up a practice. In 1936, he became manager of the Chaleur Inn in Dalhousie, New Brunswick. They remained there until his death in 1954, after which Florence moved to Stoney Creek, Ontario to live near her son Lloyd and his family. Grandson David Jones recalls her house was on his route to school. He would stop there at times for lunch and on the way home twice per week for a violin lesson. David thinks she may have played at one time for a symphony orchestra, perhaps in Ottawa. Florence would mind David whenever their parents took a winter Florida vacation. David says she was strict, but caring, and had a fixation about waste, probably a legacy of the Depression. For example, if some of David's mother's cottage cheese was left in the refrigerator when Florence arrived, she would eat it even though she hated cottage cheese, because she couldn't bear to throw it away. Florence was deeply affected by Lloyd's death in 1965, and her health declined thereafter. She lived in a convalescent home after suffering a severe stroke, and died in 1969. She is buried beside her son.	Turner, Mary Florence Eugenie (I1369)

After the war John and Frances lived in Ottawa where their other three children were born. They moved to Toronto in 1924, where John died of a coronary thrombosis in 1933. A determined woman, Frances moved the family to Montreal, where she became Supervisor of the Women's Division with the Unemployment Insurance Commission. After retirement she lived in Connecticut, St. Thomas, Orillia and Belleville. In Belleville she lived in her own home and enjoyed her garden. She remarried at age 86 to George Zimmele.

111	From Anne and Lawrence Cullen: Lewellyn, known as Lew, was the first born of Lucy and Barney Cullen. Lew grew up in Ottawa, went to Ottawa High School and completed Grade 12. During grade school he took piano lessons and continued throughout high school and became an excellent player of popular music. A restless, handsome man, Lew left home at age 18 and worked as time-keeper with a CPR Section Gang on the North Shore Line (Hull to Lachute, Quebec). He then went to the Magnesite Mines as time-keeper. He then worked for The Foundation Company of Canada in New Brunswick as an engineer and later in Cornwall, Ontario at the construction of a silk mill. It was in Cornwall he met Vivien Connolly . In 1932, he joined the Ottawa Police Force and, except for war service with the RCAF, was a policeman until 1953. In 1932, Lew married Vivien, the eighth child of Cholestic Girouard, a teacher, and John Connolly, a blacksmith, from North Bay. They had three children - Bernard, Anne and Trevor. Vivien died in 1950. The family had been living on Noel Street in New Edinburgh in the house previously occupied by Lew's parents. In 1953, Lew married Geraldine Ireland and later the family moved to West Lorne near London, Ontario. He worked at Ontario Hydro. They had one son, Alan. Lew died in February, 1986 and Geraldine died in February, 1987.	Cullen, Joseph Llewellyn (I668)
112	From Bill Mallett, a neighbour of the Ross family: I lived next door to Eugene’s parents when I was a child, so knew the family well. Eugene’s father, Ernie, had quite an interesting history. Ernie’s mother was a widow, who raised her children alone until she married Dan Maclean in 1915. At that time they moved to a remote farm, no electricity and only a dirt trail connecting to the outside world. Ernie went to a one room school until grade 8, then he would have had to go into Lamont for grades 9 to 11. This meant that he would have had to board with a town family, probably doing chores and supplying farm produce in exchange for board and room. Lamont School only went up to grade 11, so Ernie obtained a second class teaching certificate, which allowed him to teach in a rural school. He obtained his grade 12 by taking correspondence courses and coming up to Edmonton during the summer holidays and going to summer school. After he graduated from grade 12, he obtained his first class teaching certificate, which allowed him to teach in a town school. He continued to take University courses during the summer, right up until he joined the RCAF. It took a lot work and perseverance to become a school principal and eventually a superintendent of schools.	Ross, Ernest Victor (I6081)
113	From Evelyn Burke: -marriage witnesses were Joseph Goulet, who signed, and Marguerite Sorel, who indicated she could not sign. The spouses signed. According to the church entry, the bride was a minor; however, from Ellen's date of birth, she would have been age 31 years.	Family F312
114	From Evelyn Burke: -from a photo, her left hand seemed a bit deformed, possibly from arthritis.	Sheehan, Ellen (I546)
115	From Gil Joanis: Hervé worked for a bank at one time. He embezzled some money and faced charges and jail. Délina and Lionel were able to raise enough money to repay the bank which agreed to drop charges. Nothing was heard from him for several years. Then one evening in the early '30s three men stopped at our farm seeking directions to Meachem, a town about 20 miles east of St. Denis. My father invited them in and recognized Hervé. He did not recognize my father who had not shaved for several days and who was largely crippled with arthritis. But my father introduced himself loudly and clearly. He and Hervé who was travelling under an assumed name managed to slip away for a few minutes to have a talk. He told my father he had been in a poker game in a lumber camp in northern Ontario. One man lost everything and accused of the others of cheating. He picked up a chair and was about to attack when one of the other players hit him with a club, killing him. Facing a murder charge the men scattered in all directions. It was still possible in those years to disappear in Western Canada. Maurice Dinelle felt quite strongly that Hervé had settled somewhere within 50-75 miles of St. Denis. In the 1970s I asked my father where he was. I was met with two minutes of silence. I felt that he knew but did not want to lie to me so he said nothing. End of story.	Joanis, Adélard Hervé (I1024)
116	From the Grimwood tree at http://www.geocities.com/maggiedriver/tree27/d1.htm It seems likely that Charles went to Canada prior to 1884 since Maria, his first wife, had a child in December of that year by an Edward Bluck with whom she lived until 1914 when she finally married him. Charles married Mary Fay Dore, nee Fay in Montreal where he remained until his death in 1914. He was a barman in 1874 at the time of his first marriage (Marriage certificate); in 1891, he was a house painter and in 1901, an electrician. In the 1891 census, Charles and Mary were living in St. Louis Ward, Montreal with Mary's sons Edward, Leon, Victor and Gustave and his son Thomas and his mother-in-law Catherine Fay (spelled Fahey). In the 1901 census, Charles and Mary Fay Dore were living in Montreal's St. Antoine Ward with step sons Leon, Victor and Gustave Doray and his mother-in-law Kate Fay. In the 1911 census, he was living with Mary in St. Antoine and was working as an electrician. They also operated a rooming house and had six lodgers.	Grimwood, Charles (I57)

They were a well-known family, with the popular "Turner Girls" and the accomplished boys. Cycling was a family pastime - son George was an Olympian. And cottaging at Bark Lake and Trout Lake at Barry's Bay was a summer-long annual event for many years. George loved his wife, his children and his cars.

124	George was the second child of Holden and Jennet Turner. Born in the early days of New Brunswick in rural Fredericton, he became a stage driver and proprietor of a transportation and cartage concern with stables, horses and employees. For more than 30 years, George provided a cab service for members of the House of Assembly of New Brunswick in Fredericton. He may have been the first of many New Brunswick Turners to be involved in horse-drawn transportation. He and wife Catherine Russell had nine children, including two who followed him into stagecoach transportation and two others who were involved in sea-going transportation. George and Catherine also adopted and educated two young "Blue Coat Boys" from England. In 1833 he built a house at the corner of Regent and George Streets in Fredericton.
