with her parents the late Mr, and
Mrs. Ben. Morley of Whalen, at the
age of three months, to Canada. The
crossing made by a sailing vessel
took seven, long weeks. They land
ed, by boat, at Hamilton and from
there by ox cart to the home of the
late Sir John Carling at London*
who helped them to find and rent
a farm at Hyde park. The house
when heated was found to be infest
ed with snakes hanging from every
rafter and the little family soon
found a safer house near by, After
living there for five years her father
purchased the farm homestead on
the townline near Whalen now-

owned by her niece Mrs. H. Squire.

forth from which place she married
Mr. George Crewe and moved to
Leamington where she has since
made her home, living alone until
well over 90 years of age since Mr.
Crewe died several years ago. She
had a wonderful bright, happy dis

her many relatives and friends and
as she had her second sight, read
without glasses and kept herself
well up on all current events. She
never seemed old, because she was
so well informed and her mind re

instant of life.

Aunt Annie, she will be
missed by all.
