Mary born Sept 13,1876 died Jan 4 1883……..This is the girl that received The Band of Hope Review from her teacher WE Storey for 1^st prise in Dec 1882

Then she passed away the next month

First part of this is on the inside of the Band of Hope Review given to my Grandmothers Sister Mary Chalmers by her teacher .

I have over a hundred others with no names

seems they were all taken in the states…old old pics….some tin .. my Grandmother Addie went to nursing school in Mass… I sent her Grad pic and her wedding pic…

I am looking at the back of some of them there are postage stamps with lines drawn through them 2 cent stamps with George Washington’s pics.

Picture one says Aunt Lonie and Uncle Charlie………(2) Mary,George,Helen and Gordon Chalmers 1906 (3,4) ?? (5) Margaret Edwards…my grandmothers cousin…..(6.7.8) ? (9) women and boy says Nettie Hall and son Lawry or could be Larry

We have a lot of pictures of Aunt Lonie……she might be originally from Smiths Falls…..but she ended up in Nova Scotia after her husband passed in the states….so not sure if she came from here and went to the states or Smith Falls have some letters where my Grandmother went there to be with her when he passed and took her home to NS…
