  • Note: In December 1898, the family was devastated with the deaths, within two days of each other, of their eldest and youngest sons, 19 year old Frank on the 10th and almost two year old Chalmers on the 12th. Frank’s death was caused by a “pulmonary abcess induced by a defective heart valve”. At the time of his death, he was working as a stationary engineer. Edward died after suffering nine days of bronchial pneumonia. Their joint funeral was held on December 12th in St. Patrick’s Church and they were buried in the family plot in Notre Dame Cemetery. Cousin Jan de Grosbois Campbell passed on this story from her grandmother Amy about that awful week. In early December young Frank had decided to participate in an event that involved lifting heavy weights, a popular sport at the time. In lifting, he pulled all the muscles in his chest, severely affecting his heart. Emma tried to nurse him back to health, but he died some days later. Meanwhile Emma had been so worried about Frank, she didn’t realise that Chalmers had contracted pneumonia. She was unable to nurse him back to health and he also succumbed. Amy remembered the funeral and the “beautiful little box” her baby brother got to lie in.
