13 Margaret Pearl HIGGIN (1913-2004) [5]. Born 30 Jul 1913, Toronto, Ont, Canada. Died 5 Nov 2004, Mercy Manor, Grayling, MI.1,4 Cause: Renal failure. Buried 8 Nov 2004, Elmwood Cemetery, Grayling, MI.1
Margaret Higgin was born at home, 90 Medland Crescent, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She was born at 5 am on July 30, 1913. In attendance was Doctor Minerva Reid.
When Margaret was a baby, possibly two years old, she crawled out an upstairs window onto the roof. A neighbor, Mrs Dwyer, called her mother to tell her that her daughter was on the roof.
When Margaret was five years old, she remembers being outside with her friend Rita Dwyer listening to all the horns honking and bells ringing on November 11, 1918 when World War I was over.
Excerpt from an e-mail written by Ken Wright to David Gustner and Lynne Greening, 4/16/2000. "That brought to mind the wedding announcement of Mom and Dad that said they were going to live at 463 Algonquin after their marriage, so I just called Mom to ask about it. She said they never did live with Lester and Grace. They rented an upstairs apartment first, on a street that she can't remember. Then they rented a house on Eastlawn, then rented at 5039 Lakepointe, where they were when I was born (1938), then moved to another rented house on Lakewood. Then Dad built the house on 60 Hawthorn Blvd in 1941. She could not remember any of the street numbers, but I have a letter addressed to them at the 5039 Lakepointe address. I had no idea that they lived in so many places before Hawthorne, or that they were renting rather than buying. I had just assumed that they lived in a house built by Dad and Lester. Wrong! Another thing she mentioned that I didn't remember is that Lester and Grace moved to Grosse Pointe after Mom and Dad. She thought about a year, making their move from Algonquin to Hawthorn in 1942." We later learned the actual sequence and addresses of where Harold and Margaret Lived.
