    Notes 
    • Note from Anne Cullen from 2000:
      Vivien was born in North Bay. She was the youngest of eight children of Cholestic Girouard (teacher) and John Connolly (blacksmith). Vivien was educated at a boarding school. Her mother had died in 1920 so Vivien stayed home to care for her father. She married Lew Cullen in Ottawa in 1932. The couple lived in New Edinburgh for a couple of years, until they moved into 124 noel Street, the former home of Lucy and Barney Cullen. In our household, my grandfather Connolly, and my mother's sister, Rita shared the home with us. My mother had a lot of responsibility as my father was gone to BC during the war. Vivien bore 3 children Bernard, Anne and Trevor.
      Vivien was homemaker, an excellent chef, and loved to visit friends late in the evening when her children were settled. She developed a bowel cancer which caused her death on April 25, 1950.
