Annie Byrne

   Cause of her death was Brain Hemorrhage.

  General Notes:

ANNIE BYRNE

OUR GRANDMOTHER.

The only knowledge I have of our Grandmother Annie, is the very small amount of comment made by Bob during his life and that was precious little. It would appear that her and Dan had a very happy life together and were quite wrapped in their large family. Annie bore Dan 15 children 14 of who survived. The first child named Edward Victor was born in 1888 and passed away in the same year. It is not known by the writer at this time just how long he survived or where he is buried. Bede the youngest was only 10 months old when his mother passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage on 27 January 1915. She is buried at "Dicks Camp" cemetery and her headstone is today very badly in need of repair. Following is a list of the 14 surviving children showing their birth and death dates:

Just as an item of interest I have shown on the next page a copy of Grandfather's Death Certificate Transcription, only so that readers may note the mistakes in the children's names made by Alec, who was the informant for the Death Certificate.
