Edith Lousia McConnellEdith Lousia McConnell was born in Norwood, Ontario, Canada in 1884, just before her mother, Christiana Nicoll's, sad times were beginning, although she never mentioned anything about it to us. When asked about her family, she would just say she was Scottish. From my recent research, the rest of her family came from Ireland, so she must have counted that Nicol blood highly. In March of 1907, Edith was married to John Howard Brown, in Norwood, Ontario. (He was a local farmer descended from the Postlethwaite family on the Isle of Man.) Their three children were Fleeta Barbara Brown French (1908-2001), Willena Mayvarette Brown Demler (1909-1999), and John Raymond Brown (1911-1999). In 1923, the family moved to the Buffalo area of New York State, USA, in hopes that John Howard Brown could earn a better living farming there. Edith McConnell Brown was the classic sweet and round grandmother and a very good church lady. I remember her always taking meals to sick people and reading us letters from her relatives in Canada.
