Leona Boliver


Sarah Leone (Faulkner) Boliver. b: June 25, 1865 in Chelsea, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia m: May 1883 in Mill Village, Lunenburg to Norman Boliver d: June 07, 1951. She was the mother of Mary Falconer (Boliver) Nosworthy. She went by Leona. The photo was taken in Middlewood, July, 1937.

Her children:

Nina Bolivar b: March 07, 1884
James LeRoy Bolivar b: October 04, 1886 d: July 1964
Mary Falconer Bolivar b: January 03, 1887 d: September 09, 1979
William Bolivar b: July 02, 1890
Elsie Bolivar b: February 28, 1892
Stanley A. Bolivar b: September 08, 1902 d: July 18, 1974

The first three were born in Italy Cross, the last three in Middlewood. Here is a great detailed map of Nova Scotia. It is a PDF file and will take just a moment to open. Click on the zoom button a few times and move the map to just south of Lunenburg and Bridgewater and you will see these little towns.

I got this photo from a descendant of James LeRoy Boliver about fifteen years ago. Her name is Julia Crouse and she is a second cousin and still lives in Middlewood today.

I am still hoping a photo of her husband, Norman Boliver, will turn up one day.
