Letter
John Nathan Treadwell RCAF with his sister Elizabeth Sarah Brown (Treadwell) on the left and his wife Mary Elizabeth Treadwell (Ingram) on the right. This was taken one year before his death. He was flying over the Bay of Fundy and his plane was shot down by a German u-boat. The loss was heartbreaking to his family. The letter was written to his family in the year before he died. -
