LN: Mallory
DH: William Luther (May 5th, 1879)
DW: Ruth Ellen [Crewe](September 12th, 1882)
DD: (July 30th, 1900)Location: Newfoundland (At the time, was its own country)William Mallory is the son of a merchant living in St. Johns. He is a handsome, intelligent man but he has a tendancy to always say the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Ruth Crewe is a pretty, sweet girl, with a large imagination and a feirce temper.
The two met while Ruth was off day dreaming at the railway station, waiting for her train. It was a busy day, and poor Will never having saw her; accidently stepped on her foot. Thats how it all started.
A year later the two were wed in the old church, where, to everyone's annoyance, old Ms. Parsons talked thoughout the whole ceremony about how fast her children grow up-although, she deosn't have any children, and barely knew the couple anyway. No one even knew how she got in, she wasnt invited. :)
Then in 1900, a healthy baby girl was born, named Clara Bessie, after Ruth's mother.Theres a nice story. :) I was gonna make Ruth and Will be long time friends, but with Ruths wild imagination and temper, I thought she'd be too much like Anne of Green Gables. Oh well. :P
