Frank,
I have provided the wrong death year for Cora Sanborn. It is actually 1930 not 1920!

Hello Frank,
As you recall, you asked me if I knew Cora Googins birth and death dates. I went to the Black Point Cemetery in Scarborough and found her grave stone. Her birth year was 1865 and she died in 1920.
My grandmother Maude was born in 1868 and died in 1962.

Hello Laura,
My oldest Brother Bruce has informed me that I was remiss in not including our Grandmother's full name.
Could you please add her middle name "Lucy" to the write up I gave you? Her full name is Maude Lucy Googins Libby.
I think I included my Father's middle name (Allen) but if not please add that to his name as well.
It was a pleasure meeting you last week .

Regards,
Dan libby
