  • Notes 
    • From Betty Parker Wolfe:

      "I was 9 years old when she died and although she lived in Winnipeg and we lived in south western Manitoba, several miles apart, I recall several visits with her.  She was small in stature abut must have been very stong in charachter to have survived the difficulties she endured as a ministers wife." [7]
