The Downing Family

Although I did not mention the Downing family in my diaries in 1933, I mention them here because they later became close relatives and friends.  In 1912 Arthur Downing married Annie, daughter of Jim and Eunice Fennemore.  My dear friend and bandleader George Fennemore was Jim's nephew, who lived across the road from us until 1947.  Arthur and Annie's second daughter Mabel married my brother Clarence in 1941?, but died prematurely at 34 years in 1947.  Reg, Wesley and Viola lived in Saskatoon, but use to visit us and Fennemores regularly in the 40's.


Arthur Robert Downing 1885-1962    Annie Downing (nee Fennemore) 1890-1990

Edith (Eunice) 1918-1921    Wesley A. Downing 1925-    Viola Waldner (nee Downing) 1929-
