Found Photo - Annie (Dodd) Trigger
A cabinet card portrait with ink notation on the reverse; "Lillie Dennings (or Dinnings) sister Annie (Dodd) Trigger. Husband Wes Trigger, son John". No place or date.
Mary Annie Dodd, born in 1869, was the daughter of James Dodd and Jane Givens of Napier, Metcalfe Township, Middlesex County, Ontario. She had two brothers and three sisters, one of whom was Lillian ("Lillie").
On 22 July 1903, in Napier, at the age of 34, she married Charles Wesley Trigger of St. Thomas, Ontario. He was the 40 year old son of John Trigger and Margaret Simmons. Both the bride and groom were Methodists and the service was conducted by Rev. Richard Hobbs.
A son, John Wesley Dodd Trigger, was born to the couple on 13 July, 1908. Sadly Mary Annie Trigger died four days later from the complications of Bright's disease (nephritis), a condition which she had been suffering from for a year. This was the same tragic combination of circumstances which had claimed the life of Theodore Roosevelt's first wife, a day after the birth of their daughter in 1884.
