I would especially like to thank Greg Hughes and Waldron Leard for providing record lookups and background material. I am also very grateful to Dave Hunter for providing such a great PEI page.

Marriage announcements: Daily Examinier, 12/26/1902, p. 5, Morning Guardian, 12/29/1902, p 7 Laura Crewe died over Labor Day weekend in 1971 (early Sept) at the age of 88.
She lived in Hopkinton and Grafton, Massachusetts with my grandparents from some time in the 1940s or 1950s until my grandmother died in 1961. Then Laura returned to PEI, and a nursing home which I believe was in Charlottetown. I visited her there in 1970. I do know she went back to Canada because of the benefits for the elderly so I assume that she was still a Canadian citizen. PEI is where she died.
She left John Kitson Varnum $400 in her will - he was named after her husband, probably because he was the first male great grandchild. There may have been no male Crewe grandchildren.
