Nana's Family
Nana was the first born of the Seymour children. The others were, in order; Donald John, Leonard Earl, Margarette Patience, Archie Robert, Andrew, Grace Saloma and Kitty Anne, born in June of 1901. A full house for father, John Leonard and mother, Flora (Boyd).
Surprisingly, or maybe not...the Seymour side of our family has given me more information than any other. With just a simple search, I can find our way back to the time of Henry the VIII and the unfortunate Jane Seymour. And beyond, all the way back to William De Saint Maur, our 22nd great Grandfather (1260?)
Anyway, back to the 19th century. I like to think of the immense changes that Nana saw in her lifetime. When she was born, the automobile wasn't seen on the streets of Tower; only horses and buggies. And when she died, in 1977, man had gone to the moon and back.
