    Notes:

     

    Born in Lisle, a small village between the towns of Alliston and Creemore, Simcoe County, Ontario of Irish parents Joseph and Elizabeth Cole Kidd.

     

    Rachael's Marrage Certificate reports at the time of marrage her birth place as Sec. 6-14-22, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada age 20 years and religion as Espiscopalian.

     

    Rachael's Parents, Joseph Kidd and Elizabeth Cole are reported to be born in Belfast, Ireland, and came to Manitoba from Ontario in the early 1880's by way of rail with a carload of effects, then to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, then to St. Boniface, Manitoba;. the Family then traveled by covered wagon following the river trails to Oak River, ( a village about 25 miles N.W. of Hartney) Manitoba where they began homesteading.

     

    The Family arrived in the month of September, so had to build a sod house before winter set in to house the Family from a very cold winter.

     

    Rachael met George Alec in Brandon, a distribution/purchasing center for Farmers in the area, and the couple married at her Family home in Oak River.

    The newly weds then moved to the Robinson Farm in the Whitewater District that George had been renting and farming.

     

    Rachael and George had a total of 8 children Daughter Lillie and and Son Gordon being twins. They spent most of their life on their Homestead Farm near Hartney, Manitoba, raising their Family and farming their land.

     

    Her Son Percy and Wife Annie worked the old Homestead for many years finally purchasing the farm wherein Rachael near retirement years retired to a very comforable home in the city of Winnipeg; she later relocated to Vancouver, B.C. to live with her Daughter Mary Wood Hurshman until she passed away in August 1967 at 99 years 4 mths. of age.
