My mother (Mary Serre) lived in Chapleau until 1963 so I'm sure she knew about this.

In terms of information on the Donivan family, my husbands grandmother was a Donivan. It was Ellen Quigg who shared the details about this tragedy were shared with me (with permission) and I have just noticed that I have not given her proper credit ...

His daughter, Theresa Irene Donivan was my Granny on my Dads side. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I’ve never heard about this tragedy before today. You've opened up a whole world of curiosity for me! I’m wondering if you have any more information on this side of the family. (Particularly about Ray’s wives or other children).<br />Laura-Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176524875327748802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511350848360515849.post-88824547295200256212020-01-20T07:35:47.500-08:002020-01-20T07:35:47.500-08:00How wonderful and yes!

When we had our second son she said she wished that one of her children would call their sons after her dad. She said his name was Ray not Raymond just Ray. So we did, we called our second son Brendan Patrick Ray. Couldn't be more proud to make her wish come true. Thank you so much for the history<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015187576378664352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511350848360515849.post-2289047071050635002020-01-18T19:44:14.795-08:002020-01-18T19:44:14.795-08:00My Grandfather was Willy.
