      [THE ASH TREE.GED]

      When Ruby and Sam were married they lived with her mother Miriam and her brothers John, who was twenty and Frederick who was just nine. John died in 1910 and her mother and Fredrick in 1911, all with typhoid fever. Sam worked mostly at trucking o wning his own wagon and team of horses. When the Great War broke out he enlisted in the army falling ill before making it over seas. He received an injury at the military barracks afterwards developing TB and was quite seriously ill by 1917. Fort unately he was able to get a small pension from the military which helped them survive. He spent a number of years in the Sanatorium at Charlottetown and then the Dalton Sanatorium in North Wiltshire. In 1921 he was sent to St. Agath des Monts, Q uebec. Ruby followed shortly after, quite a trip in those days, for a mother with four young children and expecting the fifth. Jessie was born there and they stayed for about two years. The mountain air did not improve Sam's health so they return ed home and after having a collapsed lung he was told they could do nothing more for him. As a last resort the doctors told him he could try living in the country. In 1923 they bought a farm in Brooklyn Lot 61 where Sam's father William was born . Ruby never quite adjusted to the country way of life my mother tells me, being a city girl born and bred. She was very strong, a hard worker, an excellent cook and housekeeper. She took a serious stroke at the age of 55, but with perseverance s he partially recovered. After suffering more strokes, she died in 1952. Sam, although having so much sickness lived to the age of 79.
