   Mary Hilda Anderson was born on 16 March 1915 in Chatham, Northumberland County, New Brunswick. Her father, Oscar Anderson (Karl Oskar Andersson), was a Swedish born laborer, and her mother was Mary Alma Robichaud, known as Emma, who had married him in Chatham on 11 November 1914. Emma was sixteen when her daughter was born.

   The birth was attended by Dr. B. M. Marvin, and the return was registered on 28 June 1915 by T. H. Whalen, Division Registrar for Northumberland, as registration number 1104. The return gives the mother's maiden name as "Emma Robichaud (Landry)." Emma was the nickname given to Mary Alma by her godfather, William Landry, whose family helped raise her after her mother, Marie Elizabeth Gallien, died in 1899, and she sometimes used the Landry surname.

   In June 1921 the Anderson family was living in a rented four-room wooden house on Princess Street in Chatham, New Brunswick, paying $15 a month. Oscar Anderson, born Karl Oskar Andersson in Sweden, was thirty. He had come to Canada in 1904 and became a naturalized citizen in 1918. His wife, Alma, was twenty, and their daughters, Hilda and Pearl, were six and one.

   The census taker recorded Oscar's occupation as "invalid," with "military hospital" written beside it, a sign that he was very likely being cared for as a returned soldier. Alma kept house for the family. Oscar's illness proved serious: he died just four months later, on 26 September 1921, leaving Alma a widow at twenty-two with two young daughters.

Council agreed that as the Township had no interest in the 33 feet in question that they would consent to release its right so long as there were no costs to the Township.

    - The Orangeville Banner, Orangeville, Ontario

    In the fall of 1971, Gordon and Mary Laws asked Caledon Township to give up its claim to a 33-foot unopened road allowance running along the back of their property, which they had bought from John and Lillian Prichard. Their lawyers, McBride and Wallace, wrote to council on their behalf. Since the township had no use for the strip, council agreed to release its right, as long as it cost the township nothing.
