  	Annie Cairns Hood was married to Jacob "Jake" Halliday. She was Jake's second wife. His first wife was her first cousin Penelope Hood, who died during childbirth. Annie and Jake had one child, Gordon Stewart, who died when he was seven months old. Annie's brother John "Johnny" Scott Hood had relocated to Cass County, North Dakota in 1896 (per the 1900 census), where he was working as a carpenter. A year after Gordon's death, Annie, Jake, and Annie's siblings Martha and (Robert) George also relocated to Cass County. Annie and Jake eventually moved to Devils Lake where they lived for many years. Annie and Jake also lived for a time in Oregon. When Annie's mother died, her obituary lists Annie as living in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon. On the 1930 census, Annie and Jake are living in Multnomah County, Oregon. It is not known why Annie and Jake were living in Oregon, whether Jake had family there, if friends encouraged them to come, or if they simply wanted an adventure. Annie was known for her crocheting. The couple was living again in Devils Lake when Jake died in 1939. Over 30 years were spent living in Devils Lake, and one of Annie's good friends must have been Ada Brainard (FAG #122047595) who is buried at Devils Lake Cemetery. Ada was just one year older than Annie and must have given her two 8 x 10" professional pictures of herself. The back of one photo read: "With Love to Mrs. Halliday From Mrs. Brainard". It is believed that one of Ada's hobbies was photography. Descendants from the Hood family kept these pictures in good shape for over 80 years, before one of Ada's great grandsons was tracked down and the pictures sent to him. It is not known where Annie died. There is no record of a death certificate for her in North Dakota, so she may have returned to the Huron/Wellington County, Ontario Canada area and died there. Annie's younger sister Margaret had married Tony Holt and was living in Ontario. Jake, Annie, Penelope and Gordon are all buried at the same location at Harriston Cemetery, Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario.
