Family Lucy Eleanor Coon, b. 14 Jul 1899 d. Nov 1965, Guelph,Wellington,Ontario,Canada (Age 66 years) Marriage 2 Jun 1926 Toronto,York,Ontario,Canada [3] - The story of Robert and Lucy:
When Robert met Lucy in Toronto he fell fast and he fell hard, so much so that he quickly proposed. This was not done in these days. A girls father was meant to be approached by the suitor first and he was to ask for her hand in marriage. Realizing his mistake Robert wrote a letter to Lucy's father explaining himself. I have this letter. He hastily bought a ring but he designed and created the wedding ring himself as a custom piece.
