1999 Samuel was born in North Hatley, Quebec, on February 15, 1872 andthen at eighteen years of age, he came to Western canada and settledin the Province of Manitoba. Apparently he married my Grandmother in1902 and my Mother, Helen may, was born on July 26, 1906. My ownfather, Norris Ready, was a bank manager and we lived only fifty milessouthwest of Brandon where my Grandparents lived for close to fortyyears. My grandmother was very crippled with arthritis so we used tospend many weekends in Brandon as my Mother helped to catre fore heralthough throughout the week, Samuel looked after her without nursingcare. Samuel, as I recall, was a tall man and walked very upright andquite concerned about physical culture. He was an insurance salesmanfor The North American Life Insurance Company, but because of the careneeded by my Grandmother, don't believe his business career was thatsuccessful. Recall on different times my Dad helping them out onfinances. He was a very active member of The United Church in Brandon.I am enclosing a photo of both samuel and Hettie.(3)
