Passed on: October 31st, 1868
Sarah Margaret "Maggie" Vail (1845-1868) &

In
memory of the unexpected and tragic passing of Maggie and her infant
daughter Ella May 145 years ago this month. In recognition of November
as Domestic Violence Awareness month and in acknowledgement that
domestic homicide continues to impact our communities, the Domestic
Violence Community Action Group and their compassionate partners would
like to give Maggie and Ella an appropriate burial service and
personalized headstone. Although we cannot rewrite the course of
history, we must never forget the lives that have been stolen too soon.
The memorial service will be held at the Old Cedar Hill Cemetery, 470
Lancaster Ave, Saint John at 12 noon on November 1, 2013. All are
welcome.
Our commitment to those lost and their loved ones, we will work harder.
