Notes
a. Note:   Ray Campbell called his grandfather "Pawky" which means small or insignificant in Gaelic. Ray remembered visiting him and his grandmother on a farm on Lakeshore Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake in an area called McNab. Ray's cousins Dorothy, Ed and Jim would often be visiting also on a Sunday afternoon with their parents May and Harry and the two youngest cousins Sheila and Stanley. They lived nearby on another farm.
 Ray remembers cherry trees, raspberries, tomatoes and cucumbers along with some woods where Ray once fell out of a tree! Ray had climbed up to see a large nest and the adult birds attacked him. The other children, including Ray's brother Glen and sister Jean, carried him out of the woods and Ray's dad drove him to Dr. Chapman's on James Street in their Chrysler.
 Edgar and Emma liked farming and Ray remembers that they bought a farm on the south side of the Welland River, 2 miles outside of Welland. They had cows and chickens and a pond on the other side of the railroad tracks (Th & B line) which ran through the farm. The land was clay and they lost money (probably this was during the Depression). Their son Howard helped them to get out of there and into a house on Haig near Maywood (now St. Catharines). They had 2 acres of land and raised chickens. Then they moved into 78 Beech Street (then known as Merritt). It was small with no cellar and a long kitchen out back. There was a toilet up on the landing of the stairs.
 Pawky was very quiet while his wife was very lively. They were both short people, Pawky being just 5 feet. He lived with Ray's family for a couple of years after his wife died and then went to live with his daughter May and her family.
 Edgar became a Canadian citizen in August 1931.
 Edgar was an expert paper hanger and in 2001 Ray Campbell still has the 6 foot metal straight edge and cutter that his grandfather used.
 The inscription on Edgar's and Emma's gravestone is: "There never was night that had no morn". This sentence was from the book "The Golden Gate" by Dinah Maria Mulock (Craik).
 Emma's death is shown as 1939 on the gravestone but, according to her death certificate, she died in 1938.
