They had one Child

Notes: Lorraine (Pye) Ernst.
Pearl and her husband Reuben daurie lived a fairly comfortably as he fished during the summer and was a cooper by trade - making barrels for saurkraut, apples, and salt cod in the winter.

When the birth and death dates of Pearl and Reuben's children were found, it was tragic to see that the deaths of some of their children just preceded the birth of others. Oren died May 7, 1911 and Mildred was born May 11, 1911; Louis died March 16, 1920 and Lloyd was born April 11, 1920.

One memory I have of my grandmother was that each Easter she would dye hardboiled eggs using onion skins for me. The eggswould be a lovely golden colour. Her German background showed when she spoke wordssuch as vinegar and vegetables whichcame out as winegar and wegetables.

After her death Pearl's body was cremated and the ashes buried at her daughtre Fay's home in Buffalo, Ny, US.

Pearl, signed home over to oversees of the poor in exchange for the maintenance of her and her children about $3.50 per week.

Pearl met George Dooley about 1927 a year after the death of Reuben. He appeared at her door asking for a meal in exchange for work. This was the start of the depression years and many men travelled the rails looking for work.

The family also hooked rugs and sold them to a shop in Chester and picked blueberries for sale.

Money from oversees stopped and they Pearl George and family moved to Bedford, NS in early 1928 looking for work.
