Reuben and Annie were married in Pembroke. Since their first child was born in NOV 1887-88, they probably aere married around 1885-86. Possibly they could have been married in Holy Trinity Anglican Church where Sarah Jane MONTGOMERY and John Edward MYERS were married in 1881. RoseAnn's son, William, believed his mother had been married in Pembroke also.

My only knowledge of their brother William is that he married a widow Jane (Jennie) FERGUSON. I have no idea where they were married. Supposedly, he was in mid-life when they married. They lived in Hailebury. He may have died when I was very young or even before I was born because I don't remember him being spoken of as if he were alive. I do remember that Aunt Jennie died 1929 or early 30's. Her son William FERGUSON, was the executor of her estate.

Grandpa, Reuben Charles, and Uncle Johnnie - John Edward MYERS, went to Hailbury to dispense of her things. I remember my curiosity as I watched Grandpan and Mother unpack a steamer trunk of lenens and silver that had been Aunt Jennie's.

RoseAnn's son, William MACLEOD worked for the C.N.R. in Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. I am not aware of her having had other children. I believe he was born in the 1890's. His wife's name was Addie. They had two sons, Chesleigh who lived in Calgary, Alberta and Clarke who lived in Winnipeg.

About 1984, while I still was living in New York City, my son Monty made a search of the Christ Church cemetry (Anglican) in Burritt' s Rapids. He found only one tombstone for Montgomery which contained:

MONTGOMERY, George died Mar 27, 1887 - 89 years
MONTGOMERY, Elizabeth died Apr 11, 1883 - 78 years
MONTGOMERY, William died Mar 15, 1868 - 32 years

This information intrigues me. Could that William have been an uncle of William, Reuben, Sarah and RoseAnn. Reuben had a son, a grandson and great grandson with William in their names as well as RoseAnn's son, and Sarah and John's son William. I had had only one search done at the Kingson Anglican archives. I am going to send the money to have further searches done to see if something more can be found.

We also question if there could be the possibility of Alec MONTGOMERY's wife Anna or her mother, the german grandmother having been named RENENA. It is a German name. My mother always thought her name was Annie REUBINA after her mother and her father, but when we received her birth certificate when she was 65, we found her name was Annie RENENA.

Reuben Charles worked at the same work as John MYERS, his bother-in-law. He was a sectionman, a section foreman and a roadmaster. My mother was born in Webbwood in 1893 when grandfather worked there. As well as Northern Ontario, he supervised the laying of track in Trios Riveres and Ste. Therese in Quebec, also Ottawa and Smith's Falls, Ontario.
