Surviving are three daughters, Mrs Spence Gilgour* (Doris) of Culloden; Mrs Winnie Cowel* of London and Mrs Garfield Jasper, of Simcoe and one son, Horace of East Nissouri (township); also 12 grandchildren. **I question some poss. errors in this transcription as I believe Doris married Norman Spence Kilgour; also a Minnie (not Winnie) Scanlon married James Cowell. Minnie Scanlon was a child of his wifes by a former marriage. No proof yet whether Ransom Weeks adopted these children as Minnie and Perceil were 7 yrs and 9 years at Ransom and Sarah Etta Partlo Scanlon's marriage ( HW.)
