Biography

Info

John Wesley was in Lisgar, Mb with his son George Elton and family in June 1916. He married Levina Emily Snyder on 5/July/1916 at West Kildonan, MB. I have not yet found her on the 1916 census, and I have not found John and Levina on the 1920 census, so I don't know how much longer they stayed out west. When John Wesley died in 1953, he was again a widow, living with another son, Charles in Huron Co.
