Notes:

She died young, age 39 - might have been of TB
Friday Dec 26th (Kate's Diary - 1902)
We had a heavy rain through and in the morning the sun shone, the trees looked fresh and green as they do in early spring. The rain had washed off the heavy snow that has loaded them down so long. Jim and John cleaned the ice and snow off the roof and platform in front of the house where John had the misfortune to cut his hand with the axe. We got a good mail letters from all the girls and parcels. We were much surprised to hear that Maggie is to be married in June as we had always thought her to bashful to marry any man but it is the unexpected that happened.

Robert Wales was the son of Robert Wales and his second wife Annie Ross. HE
was one of eight sons born to Robert Wales. He married, had two children,
and was widowed in 1897. On June 3, 1903 he married Margaret Lindsay who
died a short 4 years later in 1907. I still do not know what became of
Robert Ross Wales after this second widowhood.

Notes:

A letter from Harriet Lester in 1943 talkes about Kate missing her sister. This is likely Jean

Notes:

John Lindsay was not buried in a regular cemetary, but on the side hill just out side Rock Creek between two children, one a new baby and the other a four year old boy. To find this burial ground you travel up the hill away from Rock Creek about a quarter to a half mile and go down over the bank to the right or towards Westbridge.
He died of typhoid in a hospital. It was probably in Greenwood.
