Notes - Mary Tait married Hugh Stewart and began a family with him. They were married 17 years when he died, leaving her to raise their four surviving children on her own. Her son, Leonard, took over the family grocery store after his father's death. In 1921, Mary was living with her daughter Jean and son-in-law, Tom Brown, in Hamilton. She outlived her husband by over 40 years and outlived five of her six children.
