which would require considerable skill. By 1887 Angus was working for Bruce Stewart and Company Foundry, as a pattern maker, a job merited by only the most skilled arpenters. He worked there until his death on April 12, 1925.
Sometime between 1891 ‘and 1896 Angus and Lizzie took into their home Lizzie's motherMargaret lacey, who had lived for some time with her sonJohn and daughter Annie on Malpeque Road. On December 27, 1896 Margaret Doyle nee Iacey died at the home of Angus and Lizzie Walker 5 Bishop Street. She had been born inlrelandin 1811 and died at the age of eighty-six. Margaretoutlived her husband by thirty-three years, and outlived her sons Peter, William, Moses, and Pierce. The most probable location of the grave is the Roman Catholic graveyard near Birchwood. Although the Cemetery near St. Pius X had been opened in 1884, she would have, in all likelihood, been buried with her husband.
The following Christmas Lizzie and Angus had another funeral. Their twenty-two year-old daughter Gertrude died at their home on Christmas morning. Her cause of death we do not know. Angus had the sad task of purchasing a family plot at the graveyard in Parkdale on Christmas day (plotv 278). Four of the family are buried there, although no stone is present. Shortly after that, the family moved to 1 Orlebar Street.
The foUowing poem appeared in theExamlner two days after Christmas.
Dearest Gertie thou has left us And thy loss we deeply feel
But t’is God that has bereft us
He can all our sorrows hml
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the (fly of life has fled
When in Heaven with joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed
Elimbeth (Doyle) Walker died August 9, 1914.
