Margaret Orrett Stull was running a boarding house on Queenston Street in 1914 when the Welland Canal was being dug in Thorold. Some men would walk all the way there and back to save the nickel fare. They were sending money back home (Italy, etc) to their families.
The following newspaper notice describes Margaret's funeral: "STULL - In this city [St. Catharines, Ontario] on Thursday morning, Dec. 31, 1931, Margaret Ann Or[r]ett, widow of the late Murray Stull, in her 70th year. The funeral will be held on Saturday, January 2nd, at 2 o'clock from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Spencer J. Smith, 57 Queenston St. Interment in Victoria Lawn Cemetery."
And this is the write-up of the service: "Mrs. Margaret Ann Stull: Many relatives and friends gathered on Saturday afternoon to attend the funeral service of the late Mrs. Margaret Ann Stull, which was held from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Spencer J. Smith, 57 Queenston Street. Rev. H. A. Leake and Rev. W. G. James officiated at the home and graveside. Interment took place in Victoria Lawn Cemetery amidst a profusion of beautiful floral tokens and the bearers were Messrs. Avery Warner, Will Watkins, Fred Lampman, John Smith, Theo Smith and H. H. Stull."
Margaret's sister Emma was one of the witnesses at Margaret and Murray's wedding. The Church of England minister was Rev. Joseph Fennell.
