Mrs. Mary Eleanor Moors nee Haddow, my great grandmother, passed away at her home on 139 1/2 John Street South in February, 1944. She had lived in Hamilton for most of her life, living first at 42 Jones Street where my grandfather, John Moors, was born and she was known for her kind and generous nature. This kind heart won her a wide circle of friends. She attended Centenary United Church and from the time that her husband, John, died in Etaples, France in service of our country, she lived with her sister Margaret. I felt strongly about visiting her apartment in the city and the church that she attended.

The previous photographs were ‘in the day’. Here are images of present-day Centenary.

i remember visiting there when i was little
I think that’s awesome, George. It felt very powerful to be there so many years later. I hold my family members close to my heart.
great aunt Margrett & great aunte Flossy lived there then my grandmother’s sisterinlaw & sister (Flossy)
I would love to see any photographs you might have of the interior…no one was home that day although I DID rap on the door! See what you can dig up, George, to scan.
So, Flossy must have moved in with Margaret after my Great Grandma, Mary Eleanor passed away.
