Mary Ann Gilbert 1872-1964

My 2^nd great grandmother, Mary Ann Gilbert was born in 1872 in Tredegar, South Wales. She immigrated to Scranton, Pennsylvania around 1888, and married William Canterbury on January 3, 1890. He was a coal miner, and together they raised 11 children (the last 2 being twins) on a coal miner’s salary. She lived to be 92 years old, and during her long life belonged to many social organizations. She also loved to quilt and crochet. When I was 5, and she was 91, we had a 5 generation picture taken for the local newspaper. Although I don’t remember her, I feel incredibly lucky to have that photo, and to know so much about her life.
