List:

Would anyone have any data on Stanley Freeman and Johanna's grandson, LEROY
MORRIS, s/o Glenford Morris and Janet "Jennie" Caroline Agnes Gouchie. Leroy
Morris was married with children, living in Amherst in 1968 and in the
Bakery business.

Wondering what the names of his wife and children were. You can also contact
me off line if necessary.

Thanks

Dave

p/s: The Amherst Daily News carried her obit. on February 14, 1957 on pg. #4
but about 1/2 of it was missing. Someone cut out an article from the back
side of the obit. page in the newspaper. It said she had lived in Amherst
and New Glasgow for a number of years.
