21 April 1901 -- Born in Waubaushene, Ontario, Marie "Alexina" Alfreda ARBOUR was the 6th of 13 children of my great-grandparents Alphonse ARBOUR and Marie EMOND. This connection makes Aunt Zee my great-great-auntand the sister to my grandmother, Amanda Alexina ARBOUR. Interesting how they both have the name Alexina. Alphonse and Marie must have reallyliked the name. When Zee was 26-years old, she married 27-year old William Joseph McGUIRE on 11 February 1928, in Toronto. Billworked for anoptical company in Toronto for many years while the family lived in a duplex on Wolfrey Avenue, near the Don Zoo. Zee and Bill were blessed with 3 children, one daughter and 2 sons. They are also responsible for 7 grandchildrenand 12 great-grandchildren. Bill died in Toronto on 08 December 1958, at the age of 58. Zee died in Toronto on 30 May 1978, at the age of 77.
