Hi,

I just found Hugh's obituary.  Iris is called Etta Iris in the obit.  This might help to find her.  .  See following posts!!!!

Found an article in the Globe about the annual Smith family reunion in 1926.  It was held at lot 30, 2nd concession, Chinguacousy.  Mr and Mrs Andrew Smith are the hosts.  Everyone is descended from the late Andrew and Gertrude Fraser Smith.  Hugh is elected president for next year.  Lots of names here.    .  Mary Gail is referred to as the newest member.
