The following notes may have been made by Isabel, speaking about her grandfather, George Bannerman Milne. These notes were additional pieces of paper, added to the family Bible:
Grandfather [George Bannerman] Milne had several brothers. The only one I knew was Uncle Alex who had a hardware store in Kingston, Ontario. He was a huge red haired man and came to visit us with his son Harvey and daughter Irene. We visited them while passing through Kingston on a trip but did not go to their home. Lately, a Milne who is employed by the cemetery where Dad and Mother are buried inquired about our relatives and he is evidently our cousin since his family came from Kingston and the hardware family were part of his ancestry. Evidently Uncle Alex was his great grandfather and Harvey his grandfather. He promised to come see us and see the pictures. Shame but we are away so much we havent received a call. However, I will take the pictures down to his office and then I will send you the one of your great grandmother Milne holding your Dad when he was an infant.- undated, possibly by Isabel (Milne) Wades. If it wasn't Isabel, then it was Dolly Stoneman Milne writing to Isabel about Isabel's grandfather [also, the picture referenced cannot be found].
Notes were made by Dolly in the family Bible:

Annie died of cholera infantum when Russell and Aunt Dolly were born.
Grandma had promised Annie a "little dollie".
Notes were made by Dolly in the family Bible:
Grandpa [George Bannerman] had returned to Quebec from a trip to Hudson's Bay. He was handsome with red hair and beard. Grandma [Margaret McBean] who was 27 years old fell in love with him and her father disowned her so she did not share in his estate. The Geo. Milne family settled in Oswego, NY where they spent their early childhood. Your dad [Charles Alexander Milne] and Uncle George [Malcom Milne] referred to them as the "orphanage".

Poems by Isabel [Milne] Wades
The following was written by my grandmother, Isabel (Milne) Wades, and is undated:
Across the field where the corn used to grow Like soldiers at attention row upon row stored skeleton houses How will we forget what those cornfields meant. Happy houses well spent in childhood delight Riding the farm wagon feeling the bite of each ear of corn Coming out of the spout into the wagon Hitting our noggins like the tail of a dragon The farmer liked kids! There will be families with kids in the new subdivision But where will they find such provision For happiness - know the joys Of the farm life experienced by our two little boys. The farmer has moved away.
The following was written by my grandmother, Isabel (Milne) Wades, and is undated:
Dissension, dissension in every dimension one could mention! Oh won't someone Please throw away the key That opens the floodgates of insufficient self pity That makes one say the words that hurt and dismay "I told you so - you just won't learn" Stupid no good words that burn Into the soul of young and old Til they yearn to say "Who are you and what have you done" That you alone Only you under the sun Have the right to judge one's imperfection Have you ever felt the sting of rejection? You have much to learn - mistakes came from having to choose Man's only power - either to win or lose Give us time to grow - to learn - to feel our way Don't use the lash of the tongue to destroy us, make us pay In the simple things that day by day you have built into a mountain of regret. Please let us forget - Someday when we are old and no one seems to care - It will be too late for kind words - too late to share - For only a shell of ourselves will be there.

An excerpt about Mount Hermon Cemetery
in Quebec City, where Annie and Adie Milne are buried:
"This Anglo-Protestant cemetery was designed by David B. Douglas, who also created Greenwood Cemetery
in New York City. Century-old oak and pine trees figure prominently in the picturesque scenery; such
idyllic natural beauty was common in 19th century landscaping."
