Notes |
- Mrs. Leah Cressman was born near St. Jacobs, Ont., March 7, 1878; died Oct.14,1931 at Elmira, Ont. She was preparing the evening meal when she suddenly passed away of heart failure. She was a daughter of the late Levi P. and Barbara G. Martin. Seven children were born to her of whom six are still living; namely, Lydia of Sonderton, Pa.; Enos, Elam, Annie, Mary and Salome all at home. Three sisters and two brothers also survive.
Not now, but in the coming years -
It may be in a better land;
We'll read the meaning of our tears,
And then, sometime, we'll understand.
