Caroline McAdam (nee Gunn)

In 1933 my mother's sister Caroline, affectionately know to my brother Clarence and I as Aunt "Carrie" lived at Winnipeg Manitoba with her husband William (Uncle Will).  He was a shipbuilder in Glasgow Scotland before immigrating to Canada.  Will and Carrie were married on March 6th, 1901 at Revelstoke British Columbia.  I think they eloped via the CPR railway from Winnipeg.  They use to visit our farm for a few weeks almost every year just before harvest season with their two children Lennox and Millie.  Cousin Millie later married William McGibbon and continued to sojourn to Saskatchewan each summer.  Lennox married Zella Messett in Winnipeg, who bore a son Donald in 1938.  Aunt Carrie died on November 25th 1942 at Winnipeg.

In my Pow-Wow diary on Saturday July 22nd, Mom and Dad went with Herb Reeve in his car to Dafoe to pick up Aunt Carrie and Uncle Will who came out from Winnipeg by train for a short one week visit.  They left on the following Friday.
