Journal Entry for September 29, 2008 Mood

Dear Mom

           I have some exciting news for you ! Remember you used to say, how depressing it was to do genealogy, well it's not. You always told us you had a brother Jack, that died when you were six years old. He lived for one week, and was premature, six and a half months one day.  You're not going to believe this one. You also had two more brothers both named George. George was born on 28 Mar 1929, he was premature, along with the next George,  born 5 Dec. 1929, both babies were stillborn. I know you don't believe me but, I have all three death certificates saying they were all Annie's. They were all buried from PR Williams, Connie and I are going to St Thomas to buy a book called WW 1 Soldiers of Elgin County. Ryheo is one the those soldiers, that's why I'm buying the book. While down there, we will pick up the funeral home information, along with the cemetery records. I will find out exactly where they were buried. We know Jack Cornwall and Carl McCallum are both buried in the family plot with your father. You'll probably not believe me, because you never did, although I never had any reason to lye, you just never trusted me at my word. I wish I knew the reason why. Uncle Bill passed away  August 16 2005, he was cremated and buried with Annie and Charlie. Don died in 9 Sept 1997 and Hazel 7 April 2007, they are buried in the old Delmar cemetery with William Henry Cornwall you're grand father. We just found out about Hazel when we, got the information about Jack.         Jim has moved down here from Oshawa. Judy is still there. He moved down on the 13th of September. He bought a nice trailer, just around the corner from where you used to live.  He lives at 56 North Wilder, it's a light yellow trailer, with front and long side porch, a two bedroom. I've been helping doing, the gardening. He's so happy he moved here. Connie, Jim and I get together quite regularly because we are all single. Bill's nose is out of joint but he's always working anyway. October 6th is Bill's 25th Wedding anniversary, can you imagine him being married that long? I never thought it would last that long. He has all of us put to shame. He's talked about divorce many times so, it hasn't been all peaches and cream as much as he would have us to believe.          I miss you, and think of you often. With lots of love!
