| Ann (Brise) Rae was killed by one of the first streetcars (or trolly's) that ran in Aberdeen She was coming home from a busy day of shopping with her arms full of packages. She exited the streetcar and then stepped in front of it. Being so weary, she was not paying attention to her surroundings nor the operation of such a vehicle. She was still a very young woman. She was in her early 40's so I have been told. |
| Apparently, he was known as quite a drinker in his day. |
| Ann (Brise) Rae and children left: Ann Rae (daughter) Sons standing Mrs. Rae on the right holding baby Lady in the center is not known. |
|
| The Rae Children |
| Ann pronounced �Annie� had two brothers, John and Bill. These young men were Monks during the war. As the story was told, they were de-frocked and thrown out of France. Had they been spies or were they simply using the monastery as a place in which to hide? |
