    • After the death of her husband Joe, Ann was left to raise ten children on her own, the year was 1900. The children ranged in age from Roseanne, 19 years, to Henry & Danny (the youngest twins) age 3 years. Ann took in laundry to make ends meet. Ann (also known as Ma) cooked for the Tait family, who owned Tait's SawMill, at the foot of Elgin Street, in Orillia.
      Three years later, at Ann's home, Rose, her sister, gave birth to a baby girl. The birth must have been complicated, as less than one month later, Rose passed away. The child had been born brain-impaired. Rose was just 36 years old. She also left behind ten children.

      Ann was living on Elgin Street with her children, when her youngest child Danny(twin), died of alcohol poisoning. (July 1906)

      Jim Fountain,her brother-inlaw, Rose's widower, and Ann decided to marry. There was a ten year age difference between the two, but marrying to help out a family member was common practice then.
      It has been said that the Catholic church would not marry them, so in 1909 they had to travel to Detroit to marry . They lived in Uptergrove.
