• Notes

  The following is compliments of Glenna Resnikoff: When I was reading the list of headstones and came to Margaret's name, I was reminded of a story. It seems that Margaret had what in those days was consumption and was bedridden. Her family didn't want her to die as a spinster so she and Ed Quinn were married. According to the story, Margaret was in bed with her wedding dress spread over her on the counterpane and with all her trousseau decorating the room. Margaret died within days of the ceremony. Ed Quinn later married my aunt Annie Button, who was a widow. Annie was the daughter of Emma Harnden and William Button. There is a fictionalized version of this event in a book by Jane Urquhart called "Whirlpool" Edmund was an undertaker in Colborne for many years.
