• Notes

  ?b?Woodridge?/b? is located on the ?u?Ontario ?/u?side of the ?u?Ottawa River?/u? about a mile upstream from the ?u?Quyon Ferry?/u?. Its name was changed from Whetstone Point in 1898. John Wray married Emma Rachel Farr on 24 Sept 1877 at Woodbridge Ontario. They came to Manitoba with four small children in about 1891, farming in the East Mountain District southwest of the village of Cartwright. When he died, John left a widow, two married daughters and four children ranging in ages from 5 to 16 years old. His widow remarried in 1908. John's story is told in the local history book "Memories Along the Badger Revisited" (1985) page 525. His death is recorded under registration number 1906-005330 at Manitoba Vital Statistics. His birth date originates from the 1901 Canada census.
