CAMPBELL, Leona E Gilroy    1917 – unknown

She & Leo  lived through the tornado of August 30, 1947.  Wife of Leo Campbell

“It was about 6:00 pm, a queer day from morning on, warm and hazy with high clouds. Leo, Gerald, Glen Beggs and Graydon, who was nine, were trying to get all the grain in the barn before it rained. They had in all but one load which they stopped for supper. Leo drove the horses hitched to a load of grain, onto the barn floor and fed them.

It started to rain as they came in for supper. Graydon and Colleen brought the cows up to the barnyard for milking. There was a little thunderstorm. I was so uptight I just wanted them all in the house with me. We had supper.

After supper, it was raining and still thundering. Colleen and I went and lay down across our bed. Our dog, Rowdy, came in and I told him he could stay with us. He went under the bed and I never saw him again. Then we heard this awful noise. We all ran to the window and looked out. Coming right at us was this frightful dark thing rumbling over and over like black smoke. Trees were way up in the air on the sides of it. Gerald suggested we go the woodshed which had no floor. Colleen and I stood in the doorway. Gerald, Graydon and Glen went into the woodshed. Leo had his hand on the door frame, his arm around my shoulders, and Colleen was between us. Suddenly, it looked like huge hands were crushing the house as it went apart.

When I came to, we were in a field across the lane from the house. Gerald was lying unconscious and Graydon and Glen were walking around. I could not get up as there was a stick about an inch square in my leg. I pulled it out. We realized everything we had was gone. It was suddenly quiet again.

The pîgs, chickens and cows were all about, as there were no buildings left. The cows had gone to the little woods behind the barn, and were all safe, but there were many dead chickens.

Leon went to our car to drive us away, but the binder had hit it and a tire was flat. He went to Gerald’s car. The top was torn off it, but fortunately the keys were in it. He got us all into the car, started it and drove over all the wreckage. We stopped at Fred & Effie Marshall’s. Their house was gone. Marjorie Peacock, who was visiting there, was found by the road, unconscious and with a broken arm. They put her in the car on my lap and on we went. Leo had to drive across the fields from (Harvey and Myrtle) Neal’s farm. The house and all their buildings were gone. Their granddaughter, Myrna Ferguson, was killed. We came out at the home of (Emily) Master’s place where there was a big tree across the road. Somehow they  moved it out of the way.

We went on to Dad and Mother Campbell’s (Robert and Gertrude). Harvey and Bill O’Brien took Marjorie and me to Bancroft Hospital.  They stopped in Coe Hill and sent help for all the others….we later moved to the Ridge to the Dan Henderson farm on Nov 7, 1947. See also report by Marjorie Peacock.

May 1, 1937 – August 18, 2019

Passed quietly into the presence of his Lord, whom he had loved and served for a lifetime, on Sunday evening, August 18, 2019. Precious husband of Faith; Beloved Dad of Paul (Diana), Ruth (Terry), Steve (Yvonne) and David (Teresa). Much loved and fun grandpa of 18 grandchildren and great grandpa of 6. Grover was pastor at Park Road Bible Church (Toronto), Mountain Bible Church (Hamilton) and Grace Church (Newmarket), where he was instrumental in beginning Grace Church Day Care Centre and Newmarket and District Christian Academy. From 1985-2000 he ministered to national workers around the world as President and C.E.O. of Partners International. He then came onto the Pastoral Staff of Richmond Hill Christian Community Church, where he has served up until the present. Grover had a faithful, kind, compassionate heart that he poured out on his beloved family. He touched people around the world, and that passion included his church family. His tender impact has been felt in the lives of thousands. He will be greatly missed. A very special thank you to Dr. Baguio of Southlake Palliative Cancer Care, nurse Chandra and staff, and also to his beloved friend and G.P. Dr. Bob Chui. Visitation took place at the Richmond Hill Christian Community Church, 9670 Bayview Ave., Richmond Hill, on Friday, August 23, 2019, from 2-5 p.m and on Saturday from 10-11 a.m. Funeral service  at the church on Saturday, August 24, 2019, at 11 a.m., followed by burial at Queensville Cemetery.

“Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord”

Grover and Faith and their children would visit his parents Cliff and Vi in Coe Hill over the years. I only saw them a few times in the village. But in later years did met them especially in Newmarket. Faith spoke at women’s Christian gatherings. Both were encouraging and friendly in passing. A recent visit in Newmarket Walmart was a lovely surprise. Grover’s funeral was the largest I have ever attended.

CROSBY, Harold William, Born Aug 12, 1911, Died Jan 7, 1981, oldest son of Bill Crosby and Laura Gunter, Coe Hill.  Married Gladys Gilroy. Son Grenville, and Nola (see Sprague). Road Foreman for Hastings County. Second marriage to a widow,  Hilda Campbell nee Woodbeck. Died of pancreatic cancer. Buried St Andrew’s Cemetery, Coe Hill.

A wonderful neighbour, fun to be with as a child, and always ready to lend a hand. As a child he would play tricks on us at Halloween.  I remember one time after cutting down Christmas tress on the farm, we drove to Belleville to sell them off the back of his half ton truck. Another time when I was low in hay for my livestock, he dropped off some loose hay, and later took me to get a load of bales. A very emotional moment saying goodbye at his bedside, knowing I would never see him again.

CROSBY, Margaret Joan (nee Martin) October 26, 1936 — May 13, 2022, Bracebridge

Joan was born October 26, 1936, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2022, at Andy’s House Hospice in Port Carling with her children, David Crosby and Lisa Martin, by her side. Joan was the beloved daughter of Jack and Grace Martin (both predeceased); cherished sister to Marjorie Hayes (predeceased), Don Martin, Doug Martin (predeceased) and Robert Martin; treasured grandmother to Chris Martin and Hailey Martin; sweet great grandma to Hayden, Brodie, Hunter and Ellie; and dear aunt to five nieces and four nephews.

Joan’s greatest loves were family, friends, and travel. In addition to her family, she will be missed by the many friends she made in her multiple bridge groups, the Kinette club of Bracebridge, Canadian Calorie Counters (for which she was a former National President) and the Canadian Cancer Society (where she performed volunteer work for several years). Joan was delighted to travel to many places in her 85 years including England, Scotland, Hawaii, Bahamas, Jamaica, Curacao and several trips to western Canada.  She often said how fortunate she was to do many wonderful things that she never could have imagined as a little girl in Coe Hill, Ontario.

Joan leaves a legacy of love, kindness and caring. As one small example, a family of groundhogs lived under her back deck. While many people would have called an exterminator, Joan gave the groundhogs names and looked forward to the emergence of a new set of baby groundhogs each spring.

During countless winters Joan jokingly said she couldn’t die until spring when the dandelions came up so she would have flowers at her funeral. As dandelions appear in our yards this year, let’s view them as a reminder of the full life Joan lived and the wonderful ways she touched us all.

Visitation has taken place at Reynolds Funeral Home in Bracebridge on Saturday, May 21, from 6:00-8:00pm. A memorial service was held at Reynolds Funeral Home on Sunday,

CROSBY, Roger         October 31, 1949  –  August 12, 2024 

Our hearts are saddened and the Crosby family circle is broken. On Monday, August 12, 2024 at 4 p.m., at home, our loving Roger got his wings to Heaven and is now playing sweet fiddle and guitar music with his family. Roger Neil Crosby, beloved husband & best friend of Eleanor (Montgomery) Crosby, loving father of Robert (& Sharleen) of Apsley, Kevin (& Savanah) of Glen Alda, Crystal (& Ryan) Freeburn of Woodview and Peter (& Barb) of Boulter, doting and loving grandfather of Taelor, Caleb, Calli, Ella,  Anden, Benjamin, Grace, Georgia, Pierson and Ada and great grandfather of Madelynn. Roger is survived by his brother, Gordon (& Iris) and by his sister in law, Faith. He was predeceased by his siblings: Aileen, Grover, Murray (& Wilma) and Pat. Roger was born in Faraday Township and was raised and lived in the Coe Hill and Apsley area all of his life.

During his career, Roger was employed with the Ministry of Transportation. A man of many talents and a vast array of interests, Roger will be remembered fondly for his love of music, especially playing the fiddle and the guitar, for going to jamborees around the country and always hosting the jam sessions at their trailer, camping, riding his Harley, being with and entertaining his grandchildren, for his faithful devotion as a fan to the Toronto Blue Jays and the Montreal Canadiens and for his interest in collecting and restoring pin-ball machines and juke boxes. Gone too soon but his smile and his music will live on.  Cremation.

Wilma entered the world to parents, Bill & Pearl McCaw, and their oldest daughter, Fern of Coe Hill, Ontario. From a young age, Wilma was curious, independent and inquisitive. She attended elementary school at Coe Hill Public School, and secondary school at North Hastings High School in Bancroft. A born teacher, Wilma attended Teacher’s College in Peterborough, completed her first years in Apsley  under the tutelage of Pat Tucker.  All through life, there was one dashing individual–Murray Crosby–who would be her husband of 46 years.

Wilma attended Brock University for a Bachelor of Education, graduating with honours in 1984. Wilma enjoyed her five grandchildren (Allegra.

Wilma’s generous nature extended far beyond her own community (Food Bank; Santa’s Helpers), to include many causes: the David Suzuki Foundation, the NDP of Ontario and Canada, as well as the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and Covenant House. She was a caring friend and shoulder for anyone who needed her.

Wilma leaves behind her three, loving daughters: Pamela (Gordon), Jennifer (Rick), and Sarah (Tony). Wilma loved her family,  her vast extended family, and all of her dear, very close friends.  A celebration of Wilma’s life occurred in May. Note: see Fern Faul obit.
