From various family obituaries, it appears that Isabella (?) was Wes Musgrove's second wife. Her first husband died in 1922. She may have married him before 1924 but this is still in need of research.

Her daughter Isabella (?) was also a step-sister of her husband Elmer, thru the above second marriage. This would seem to argue for a marriage date after 1924, when Ethel was older. She may even have married Elmer before her mother married Wes Musgrove.9

Harry Catted, master of ceremonies, spoke of the loss to the community in the departure of the Musgrove family. Mr. and Mrs Musgrove had given liberally of their time and talents in the promotion of social life in this community. They took an active part in the Finmakers' Club, a group of young people who have prepared and presented a play each winter. Mis. Musgrove was a valued member of the Homemakers Club.

On behalf of these organizations the guests were presented with a card table, a set of plaques and a purse of money from the community. Mr. Musgrove thanked their friends for the gifts and good wishes The pupils and the teacher of Polar Crescent School gave George a zipper school case as a remembrance gift. A short program of musical numbers and a dance concluded the proceedings.

Saturday afternoon, April 7, the Soldiers Comforts Club held a rummage sale, a sale of home cooking and served lunch in the waiting room of the rink. Proceeds of $42 will be used to send parcels to the men overseas.7
