MINNIE MAY ADAMS, b. at Elmsdale 8 Sept. 1882, according to the date on her gravestone, died of albuminuria and eclampsia at her home near Viking, Alta., on 3 Mar. 1907, aged 25 yrs., 7 mos., and 29 days (Alta. VR. 1907 Deaths, which, if correct, would give a birth date of 2 July 1881, five days after her parents’ marriage), and is buried alone in Golden Valley Cemetery, Viking, Alta. The death record states that she had had the condition that caused her death for four days. At some time prior to the 1901 census, Minnie went to Fredericton, N.B., where she worked as a tailoress for several years and boarded with a local family. While there she met a young blacksmith and carriage builder, FREDERICK GORDON [Fred] ROSS, and they were married in Fredericton on 11 Apr. 1906. He was b. in Fredericton 8 July 1877, a son of George W. and Cynthia B. (Kennedy) Ross. Fred and Minnie departed for the West on their wedding day, stopping first in Edmonton, Alta. Fred soon took up a homestead at SE18-47-12-W4 in Beaver Co., Alta., just southeast of the community of Viking, and he opened a smithy in the village. The story goes that Minnie was about to deliver her first child, but before her husband could return home with a doctor she and the baby had both died. Someone, perhaps Fred, wrote back to the Island to inform Minnie’s relatives and friends of her death, and a brief notice appeared in an Island newspaper (The Charlottetown Guardian, 20 Mar. 1907, p. 7). Fred mar. (2), at Viking, Alta., on 26 Nov. 1908, Karen Martha [Carrie] Lund, their marriage being the first ever recorded in Viking. Fred and Carrie had four children: Minnie Cynthia; George Frederick; Irene May; and Harold Gordon. Fred d. from the effects of a stroke at his home in Viking, Alta., on 9 Feb. 1953, and is bur. there with his second wife and two of his children in a family plot in Golden Valley Cemetery.
