in order to look after her mother who was ill. During her brief retire- ment she enjoyed such things as skiing, curling, crocheting, bridge, horse racing, and home cooking.

Unfortunately, she began to experience poor health and died March 8, 1986. Her husband, Cliff, had predeceased her.

Perhaps Margaret's life is best conceptualized in the words by Jean Dewar, her neighbour - also a nurse, “Margaret had a really great sense of humour. She was full of life and could keep you entertained. She was also very compassionate and dedicated to her job.”

HAROLD JELLEY - MERCHANT

Harold Jelley, son of John Jelley and Margaret Harris, was born in O’Leary in 1906 and died in 1982. He attended the two-room school in the village - received no formal business education; but, at the age of seventeen, armed with little more than determination and a keen mind, he began his career as an entrepreneur - an enterprise that spanned almost the next fifty years of his lifetime.
