Notes

Alberta Blackburn McLaughlin was born in Sullivan Township, Grey County, on July 21, 1887. Her father, John McLaughlin, farmed at Lot 24, Concession 12. Her mother was nee A. Williscroft (her name might have been Cinderella?).

In the 1911 census, the McLaughlin family included John and Cinderella, and Russel, Alberta, Nellie, Louellen, Myrtle, and Melville.

In the 1921 census, Alberta was still residing on the farm in Sullivan. She was then 33 years old.

When she was in her thirties, Alberta nursed her father, and a doctor suggested that she should train as a nurse. She went to the United States and became a practical nurse. She later worked at the General & Marine Hospital at Owen Sound, Ontario.

Miss Alberta McLaughlin later resided in Owen Sound, Ontario.
