5157	The Death of Franklin Wardner Franklin Wardner, who died yesterday morning, November 30th 1887, was born in the town of Essex, Essex County, New York on the 20th day of July 1816. He was the seventh son in the order of their birth of the nine children of Philip Wardner Sr. When he was two years old, his father removed from Essex to Monroe County, and seven years later the family located in Allegany County in the vicinity of what is now the village of Andover. Having settled in a densely wooded and inhospitable region of country, father and sons proceeded to clear up a farm of nearly 200 acres of land which has long since passed out of the hands of the family and become one of the valuable pieces of real estate in that rich farming community. Franklin remained in his father's home, working as only boys in such times and circumstances ever worked with little chance to acquire an education in the rural school house of that early day, until he was nineteen years of age when he went to Geneva, Ontario county and learned the rule of a cooper which he followed during the most his spent life. While at Geneva, at the age of twenty two years, married Miss Cynthia Heath, who, as his widow, now survives. Mr. Wardner, in the course of three years, returned to Allegany, where for 28 years he remained a resident of Almond, removing to Hornellsville in the spring of 1865, where with the exception of a brief residence in Wisconsin, he has since lived. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wardner, the oldest of whom is Mrs. Nelson Alford, now residing in Pardeeville, Wisconsin, the youngest having been Mrs. C.M. Boyce, of this place, where she died in July of the present year. Mr. Wardner has always maintained an honorable name among men, having been posessed of the strictist integrity and respected by all who knew him. In politics he was a democrat, and for many years filled the office of Assessor for the town of Hornellsville to the entire satisfaction of all parties. He became a Free Mason about 23 years ago and progressed through all the different degrees of the order attainable in this country. For many years he served as Tiler of the different Masonic bodies to which he belonged, and was held in high esteem by the members of the craft. For some years, however, he has been living a more retired life. About two years ago he removed to Wisconsin where he remained but little more than a year, returning to this place about the first of last March. Some months previous to his return, he began to sicken and for eleven months his progress toward the inevitable end of man has been steady and uncontrollable, under the ravages of what was supposed to have been an internal cancerous tumor. During the last few months of his life he has been cared for in the family of his grand-children, Mr. and Mrs. E.N. Langley, who have contributed all that was possible to his comfort. In early life he was converted and died possessed of an abiding faith of the Bible. Of his father's family there yet survive him, Mr. A. Wardner of West Almond; Rev. C. Wardner of North Hector, in this state; Mr. Deming Wardner of Ravenswood, W. Va.; Rev. N. Wardner of Milton Junction, Wisconsin; and Mrs. Harriet Clark, widow of the Rev. Thos. Clarke of Cameron.

5162	The decade of the 1920s was a time of change the world over. Along with tremendous growth and technological advances, major U.S. manufacturers began implementing the beginning of the 40 hour work week, and factory towns were flourishing. Many were hopeful, and found much to be thankful for. This was especially true for Albert and Ella Bosley of Grand Rapids, Michigan when they welcomed the birth of their little girl, Peggy Lee, born on December 31. The Bosley family made their home on Grand Rapids Westside at 1215 Quarry Street NW where Peggy grew up alongside her sister, Dolores. Her father worked for Hackalite Manufacturing, and as a family they were devout members of St. Mary's Catholic Church. Peggy attended Harrison Park Elementary School and then Union High School through the tenth grade, and enjoyed the adventures of youth with longtime friends. It was through one of her friends that Peggy came to know a handsome young sailor named Donald Wert. She wrote to Donald throughout World War II, and when he returned home at the war's end, he and Peggy began dating. Deeply in love, they were happily married on January 3, 1948 at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Peggy and Donald began their new life together living above her parents home on Quarry Street. Before long they were blessed the with the addition of two sons, Steven and Scott. Treasured times were spent together on family vacations to the Wisconsin Dells, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and camping at Burt Lake. Later in life, Peggy and Don had a permanent spot for their trailer on Ryerson Lake in Fremont. In 1955, Peggy and Don purchased a home at 609 Fairfield NW where they raised their boys, creating priceless memories. Peggy made a good home for Don and the boys. She loved making her traditional Lithuanian dishes, and her chop suey and liver with onions was always a mainstay. She also liked having the company of their family cat, Festus around. Donald worked at Kelvinator and when the boys were older, Peggy started working at the R.C. Allen Company on the night shift before the children were born. She later took a job cleaning at the Northtown Theater. In her free time, Peggy loved going to garage sales. She was an avid reader of cook books picking them up wherever she went. Through the years she came to have hundreds of cook books. When it came to music, Peggy especially loved the sounds of her youth, including Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Perry Como, among others. On TV she liked Perry Mason, Murder She Wrote, Little House on the Prairie, and any murder mystery shows. Peggy liked playing a good games of cards, and especially liked playing Yahtzee. When her husband Donald was sick for quite some time after a bout with pneumonia, At the same time, Peggy was having her own health issues with dementia. As her own health diminished, she began living at Metron of Belding in 2012 when Don could no longer care for her. Sadly, he died a month later on April 11, 2012. Over these years, Peggy's health gradually declined, and most recently turn a turn for the worse. For the wonderful memories she leaves behind, Peggy will be lovingly remembered as a loving and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt who will be deeply missed.

5170	The history of the complex reflects the development of a farm in the Upper Connecticut River Valley from the period of settlement immediately following the Revolutionary War. The Town of Hartford was chartered in 1761 and permanent settlement began in 1764. The first settlers of this property were Benjamin Burtch, who was a carpenter, and his family. Burtch, born in Stonington, Connecticut, in 1731 and married to Anna Udall, moved to Hartford in 1765. Within the next three years he had bought part of the 500 acres that would become the Burtch farm and brought his family to live in a log cabin he built on the property.

5180	The only Grandpa I ever knew was really my step Grandpa John Armstrong. Growing up, I thought he got his last name because he was the strongest man I knew. I also thought he had a poor memory since he always called me "Suzy Q" and I had to remind him that my name was Pam. John only had a 2nd grade education since all the kids needed to work as early as possible. When my Great Grandma Pearl Atwood became seriously ill with asthma, the entire family pulled up stakes in MI and headed south for wherever she could breathe better. It was during the depression and there are lots of stories about that trip, but back to Grandpa John. The family ultimately ended up in Arizona and began putting down roots when WWII broke out and John heard there was money to be made in the factories in Michigan for the war effort. So back to Michigan came John, Violet, Pauline and Dick. Grandpa heard that the best wages were for tool and die makers , so he decided to become one. When he would apply at the factory he would tell them he was a tool and die maker. The first job lasted a matter of hours. The next job it took a day or two until the figured out he had no idea how to do the job, but with each new job he was learning to be a tool and die guy and he would last longer. Finally he had gained enough skills on the job that he went to work for General Motors in Grand Rapids as a tool and die maker and worked in that position until the time of his death. I often thought how unfortunate it was that he never had much formal education, because I think he was brilliant to teach himself that skill. Just think what he could have accomplished! He has been gone since 1974, but I still miss his strength and miss hearing "Hi there, Suzy Q" -written by Pamela R Streeter Wadsworth	Armstrong, John Daniel (I16837)

5182	The raid of 622 aircraft (331 Lancasters, 176 Halifaxes, 106 Stirlings and 9 Mosquitoes) took off from RAF Base Pocklington, Yorkshire at 20:21 hrs on August 31, 1943. Due to cloud in the target area, difficulties with H2S equipment and the ferocity of the German defences, the raid was not successful. These all combined, caused the Pathfinder markers to be dropped well south of the centre of the target area and the main bombing area to be even further away. Halifax JN909 is believed to be shot down by Flak (a German aircraft-defence cannon), crashing between the communities of Sinningen and Saerbeck.	McClay, Murton Lawrence (I5816)
5183	THE REVEREND DOCTOR MARGARET EVELYN FLECK After 86 fulfilling years, Margaret died peacefully with her husband, Jim, holding her hand on Sunday evening, January 6, 2019, Epiphany, and the 34th anniversary of her ordination as a minister. She spent her primary school years in the care of her cousins in Winnipeg. Later she attended Central Collegiate in London, Ontario where she developed choreographic and dancing skills. At the University of Western Ontario, her extracurricular activities included cheerleading and tap dancing in the Purple Patches annual revue. Her love of music and dancing proved to be formative. It was on a Montréal football weekend in 1951 that the cheerleader Margaret met the cymbal-playing band member, Jim. Although he was her third date of the evening, that date started a partnership that included over 65 years of marriage, and gave us Robert (1954), Ellen (1958), David (1959), and Christopher (1969). She presided over the family as they moved to Asia, Europe and the U.S.; that included six houses in eight years in Japan, France, and Boston, followed by 52 years in one house in Toronto. Grandchildren followed; Jamie, Erin, Seymore, parented by Robert and Elaine and co-raised by Gary; Quinn and Devon from David and Yvonne, followed by two adorable great-grands, Marion and Corrina by Jamie and Bruno. When the family returned from Boston to Toronto in 1966, Margaret was solicited by the priest of the St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church to take over a youth group of four young people which she named "DJ's" (Disciples of Jesus) expanding over the next few years to 53. Her group thought calling her Mrs. Fleck was too formal and Margaret was too informal, so they settled on "Flash" to recognize the speed of her movement. That experience started her on a path that lead from the Centre for Christian Studies and the Episcopal Divinity School, to a Master of Divinity and an Honorary Doctor of Divinity at Trinity College, University of Toronto. Ordained in 1984, Margaret served in four parishes and was a volunteer hospital chaplain. She was also deeply involved in Loft Community Services and the Sisterhood of St John the Divine. After her retirement, she carried on as Honourary Associate Priest and as part of the Pastoral Care team at St. Augustine. Margaret lightened up a room with her smile and interacted easily and intuitively with others. Always curious and observant, her travel included 19 years of biking in Europe and many Mediterranean music cruises. Toward the end of her life she faced many difficult medical challenges and felt ready to move on. We will all miss her ebullience, warmth and remarkable generosity of spirit. The funeral will take place at 2 p.m. on Monday, January 21 at Trinity College Chapel, University of Toronto, 6 Hoskin Ave. with overflow, if required, in the Fleck Atrium, Rotman School, 105 St. George Street just around the corner. Reception following in Seeley Hall to meet the family and reminisce. In lieu of flowers, Margaret would love you to donate to LOFT Community Services. --Published by The Globe and Mail from Jan. 12 to Jan. 22, 2019.	Humphys, Margaret Evelyn (I5138)

5194	Thelma Holt Chollar, age 102, resident of Vienna, Virginia since 2009, died on November 17, 2018. Thelma Lucille Holt was born in Chester, Connecticut in 1916 and grew up in the nearby town of Deep River. Following high school, she attended Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where she met and married Robert G. Chollar in 1934. After college, Thelma and Robert lived in Kettering, Ohio, where they raised three sons. As a mother, Thelma nurtured a strong moral and ethical foundation in her children. She regularly attended St. Georges Episcopal Church, and later Fairmont Presbyterian Church along with them. Thelma led her family through many wonderful, as well as some very tough, times. Thelma was active in the Rock Hill Garden Club, as well as in a number of bridge clubs and reading groups. Robert?s work (as an executive with Dayton?s National Cash Register Company, and later president of the Charles F Kettering Foundation) gave Thelma many opportunities to join him in traveling all over the world. In the years following Robert?s death in 1981, Thelma?s love of travel continued, and led her to every continent with the exception of Antarctica. For her 80th birthday, she traveled with her sons to the Galapagos Islands, and in later years accompanied them to Kenya, Australia and New Zealand. Over many years, Thelma devoted much of her time and energy to her second home on Upper Saranac Lake in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. Thelma closely watched over every aspect of the life of the cabin, from its early planning, through the building, furnishing, and in many years of upkeep and renovation. Sometimes with the family, and often on her own, she spent every summer and also several winter holidays there from 1968 through 2013. Thelma was also a founding member of The Wild Center, a natural history museum in nearby Tupper Lake. In 2000, Thelma moved to a retirement community in Charlottesville, Virginia. She lived there until 2009; when her sons helped her move to Tysons Woods Assisted Living home in Vienna, Virginia. In her remaining years at Tysons Woods, Thelma was cared for by a team of highly skilled, compassionate staff, who honored Thelma?s independence, quick wit, and strong heart. Thelma will always be remembered for her wonderful laugh, her sense of style, her combination of strength along with graciousness, and her deep generosity to family and friends. Her positive attitude and optimism stayed with her through the end, and was an inspiration to many around her. Thelma is survived by two sons: Brian of Falls Church, Va, and Ric of Washington, DC. She was predeceased by her husband, and by her oldest son Charles who passed away in 1985. A memorial gathering in celebration of Thelma?s life will be held January 12, 2019, 11am at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax.	Holt, Thelma Louise (I28806)
