Percy and Estella Landers with their oldest son, Gerald

- 1915 -

As a young man, Grampie Landers went to Boston where he worked in a factory putting brushes in generators. He did not stay long, because he returned to Sandford, Nova Scotia for love.

Grammie was 16 when she married Grampie at 21 on June 9, 1913. When Grammie passed away in 1982, they had raised five children and been married for 69 years. Grampie was with us for two more years and I remember overhearing that he wasn't the same with Grammie gone.
