Biography
Margaret grew up on the Hood family farm in Guelph Township.
When Thomas Armishaw married Margaret, he became identified with one of the most prominent pioneer families in the county. Thomas and Margaret rented and then purchased, “Elderslie”, a beautiful home and substantial farm in Guelph Township, Wellington County from her family. In 1901, Thomas Hood, Margaret's father lived with the family. By 1921, the family had moved to 60 Tiffany Street in the City of Guelph.[1]
She and Thomas are buried in Woodlawn Memorial Park in Guelph.
