Biography
Daughter of George M Willard and Jane Kitson Willard[1]
Married Samuel Lyttle Wellwood July 11, 1870 at age 17,[2]
1914 - Died of Carcinoma, lingered 5 years[3]
Note: Memorial tombstone in St Patrick's Cemetery is not where she is buried. She is buried in the Merlin Cemetery because she was not Catholic and could not be buried in the catholic cemetery. Her granddaughter, Ruth Wellwood Nagle added her to her husband's tombstone because she wanted them to be memorialized together. The birth date of 1850 on the memorial is also incorrect. She was born Dec 4, 1852 on Amherst Island.
Her actual tombstone is in Merlin Doyle cemetery. The birth date on this stone is correct. [4]
