History
Annie Louise McNab was born in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia on 16 November 1879, the daughter of Peter McNab (1834-1884) and Annie Storey (Coleman) McNab (1835-1920). She was descended from Peter McNab (ca. 1762-4 February 1823), who was one of the original settlers to be granted land on McNab's Island, and Jean (Jane) Fraser (ca. 1763-February 1833). She married Frederick S. Coombs, a building and supply merchant, on 7 August 1912. She was an avid sportswoman and took home trophies from Brightwood Golf and Country Club as well as St. George's Tennis Club. She celebrated her 100th birthday on 16 November 1979 and is believed to have died in the 1980s.
