Remembering Christina Goldie (nee Neilson)

Christina succumbed the Spanish influenza and pneumonia on the the 6th of March 1919 in Stirling Royal Infirmary aged 29 years. Her widower David was present when she died and registered her death.

She is interred in Stirling Ballengeich Cemetery in a familial layer with her father Andrew who predeceased her (also dying young aged 35), her teenage siblings Peter and Margaret, her mother and a niece and nephew who died in infancy. Her mother outlived her by over 25 years. I cannot begin to imagine the emotional turmoil of losing three children in her lifetime.
