December 9th, 1912

That was the day that Grammy, Janie Evelyn Buell was born. Yesterday would have been her 100th birthday. It is over 15 years now since she passed away. Of all of her brothers and sisters, Maria, Albert, Clara, Jemima, Alex, Freeman, Katie, Myrtle, Lewis, Walter, Eileen and Parker, only Eileen is left, who will be 92 on New Year's Eve.

 

I took this of Grammy late summer 1986. She and I were staying at the house together, and we got up early to pack up, close up the house, and go back to Moncton for another winter. This was the first time she had been to the house after Grampy died the previous April.

Below is the previous summer, the last time Grampy was there.

I took this in 1995. It turned out to be the last time Grammy was on the Island.

Janie and Arthur before they were married, 1931

Miss them both
