| Died: Mar 16, 1939 in Toronto |
| Father: William MENARY |

My Main source of information comes from a newsclipping shared with me
by Christine WRIGHT of Gilford Castle. It is dated March 1939 and is from
an unnamed Canadian Newspaper:
Well known in women’s business and club circles, Miss Anne
Jane MENARY died Thursday at her home, 96 Alexander Street following
a protracted illness. She was a past president of the Canadian Business
and Professional Women’s Club and secretary of the Veterans’
1866 Chapter I.O.D.E.. She was also a member of the Women’s
Canadian and Conservative Club, Lake Shore Golf and Country Club and
St. Andrew’s United Church.
Daughter of the later William and Sarah Cotton Menary, Miss Menary
was born in Orangeville. She received her education in the public
and high schools of that town. She had been a resident of Toronto
for some years. Surviving are four brothers, John A. and Fred C. of
Toronto; William R. of Windsor and Ernest A. of Orangeville, and one
sister E.C. Menary, of Toronto.
A letter, dated 1939 March 29 Letter from Edna (Mrs. Frank Sherk, 1224
Avenue Road, Toronto) to Mary (née MENARY) WRIGHT at Gilford Castle
- also in the family archives of Gilford Castle gives the news that Aunt
Anne passed away (this would be Anne Jane MENARY d. Mar 16, 1939)
of breast cancer. Her sister Aunt Elizabeth (this would
be Elizabeth C. MENARY of Toronto) was holding up very well.
Edna (author of the letter) also talks of travelling to Ireland and visiting
Mary (nee Menary) WRIGHT of Gilford Castle.
