Catherine, daughter of
Mariah
Parr and Robert Tunks, was born 4 September 1845 at ____________ Ontario.
David, (likely) son of Ebenezer Little and Elizabeth Younglove was born 22 September 1842
at ________________ Ontario.
They married 19 February 1865 in ___________________________ (church?) at Mosa Township, Middlesex
County, Ontario.
They had 15 children; Sanford, Edgar, Oscar, Maude, Ann, Clara, Charles, Fred, James,
Robert, Ada, Emma, George, Franklin, and Mary.
They owned a farm south of Bothwell, and Carrie (Tunks) Stocking remembers the frequent
visits there. She was a "beautiful woman, lovely Christian woman", said Carrie.
Aunt Katherine and Uncle Dave had "little things, like rabbits that had no tails ...
She (Catherine) told me if you catch one of them by the tail, you can take it home - they
didn't have a tail!"
Catherine would cut off the crusts from the bread and throw them out the door for the
dogs. Carrie enjoyed bread crusts and was feeling bad about that. Catherine then cut off
the other end of the bread and gave it to Carrie. Carrie then was one happy little girl.
The front room of Dave's and Catherine's place was the parlour. Catherine had a large
collection of stereoscopic pictures that Carrie amused herself with each visit. Carrie
said that she doesn't recall going through the full collection, as aunt Catherine had many
packs of them.
Catherine died from ______________________ (cause) on 12 August 1911 and was buried in the West Bothwell Cemetery at Bothwell,
Ontario.
David died from _________________ (cause) on 23 November 1928 and was buried in the Flemming Cemetery in Mosa Township,
Middlesex County, Ontario. |
