My father was a farmer near Zurich ON. I was their only child as my parents were older--Mom 37 and Dad 53--when they had me. When I was 2, we moved to another farm between Thorndale and St. Marys ON where my father also farmed. Mom had resigned from high school teaching to marry, and in 1960, Dad retired from the farm and Mom returned to teaching in Mount Forest ON. I attended Gr. 7&8 and high school in Mount Forest. From there, I trained to be a radiological technologist in London at St. Joseph's Hospital. I then worked at Louise Marshall Hospital in Mount Forest for about 18 months before returning to London to work in the nuclear medicine field. I got my registration in that in 1972. I married a co-worker, David Law, in 1973. We moved to the town of Perth in Lanark Co. the following spring where David worked in the x-ray department and I also did from time to time. Our three children were born there in 1976 and twins in 1978. My husband was born with severe congenital heart disease and had two surgeries while we lived in Perth. We moved to Stratford ON in 1980, and I have lived in this area ever since. My husband's heart condition got worse, and I had to take his place at work in Oct. 1981. He died in March 1983. I met and married a local farmer, Ivan Wilson, in Oct. 1985 and retired from my job to raise our three children. I got involved in family history and served in several positions with our local genealogical society. Our children are now all married, and we have five grandchildren. We are quite involved in our local church where I am treasurer, librarian, kitchen co-ordinator, board member, and Sunday School teacher. It's a very small church; what can I say?! My aim for this year is to get my family history organized and properly sourced.

Thanks for your Silas Hyatt entry. Hyatt's feature prominently in my family tree and Silas was a new name I had not seen before. I have done some preliminary research and I believe he fits into my tree...more work to do though...Brett Rutherford
