  • Notes 
    • From Paul Vachon's book, Repertory of Births, Marriages and Burials: The Anglo-Protestants
      of Megantic County his baptismal date June 7, 1855

      1881 Census for Hoosick Falls,
      25, Que., moulder, in household of John Daly

      He was an accountant for a hotel in Schenectady, N.Y.

      From Georgia Garnsey
      Some years after Isabella died, Robert remarried a woman named Caroline whom my grandmother Rose (Rozella) loathed. Rose actually left home as soon as she was old enough (and her father had died) and I have the advertisement she took out for her "Children's Hair Cutting" business. Robert was buried next to Isabella in the Hoosick Falls cemetery and I have a photo of their graves somewhere in my files of the gravesite. The photo was obtained from a descendant of Albert Leith's.
