Biography
She married John Mulligan on May 31,1882. They were both 30 and it was their first marriage. Her sister Charlotte was a witness at the wedding. I can't find any record of any children but their niece Ada Shaw, daughter of John and Elizabeth Shaw of Bruce Co. lived with them for the 1891 and 1901 census. Ada married Henry Haskill in 1906.
Mary died of bronchial pneumonia Dec. 4, 1932 (17 years after her husband) and had been living with her nephew Robert Shaw at RR#8 Peterborough (con. 11, lot 24) for the previous 10 months.
She is also buried in the Orono Cemetery, Durham Co., Ontario.
