Aunt Myrtle





The last time I was in Toronto in March of 1993 I made it a point to contact Myrtle. I called here up out of the blue. We had never met and we had never even spoken before. But we made arrangements to meet at her apartment in Burlington, a suburb, and get acquainted. She greeted me very warmly and we spent the morning trading family stories. Before I left I got her to pose for a few photographs among her collections of vases and figurines. Doesn't she look grand here? Sadly she passed away later in November that same year.

Myrtle Leona Nosworthy September 11, 1907, Halifax, NS to November 29, 1993 Burlington, ON. She had one child, Fred, with her first husband, George Turnbull, and five children, Albert, Donald, Joan, Beverly, and John, with second husband, John Reid. She later married Wilf Squiers. I think I got that right.
