Is there anyone who could lookup a tombstone for Oliver and Christine Goodfellow. OFCA info says Section 1, Mountview Cemetery, Dumphries N., Waterloo Co. Ontario. WW-4495 Death dates should be 1877 for Christine, and 1901 for Oliver.

I would be very grateful for a transcription and digital photo if possible!

with appreciation

Surnames: Goodfellow, Wood, McPhater
Oliver Goodfellow 19 Jan 1901 88th yr Roxburghshire
Christine Wood 23 Oct 1877 65th yr Roxburghshire
Ellen McPhater 3rd daughter Jun 16 1848 - Jun 5 1938, born again Sep 28 1875 John 5:24

The Dumfries Reformer of Oct 24 1877 has a short note on the death of Christine (the microfilm I was using was too poor a quality to make a copy from). It says that they lived in a house behind the central school & that Oliver came home to find his wife at the bottom of the cellar stairs with her head split open (the paper's words).

Cheers, John

Could anyone do a look up for William E. McIntyre and his wife, Clarabel McIntyre. They are in the Mountview Cemetery, Cambridge (Galt) (Section 6), Waterloo Co., Dumfries North Twp., reference WA-4495. William was b.ca. 1893 and Clarabel was b.ca. 1889. If it helps, Clarabel's maiden name was McDonald. Would like to know when they died, and wouldn't mind a photo of their tombstone, if at all possible and not too much trouble.

William Mar 14 1893 to Oct 4 1968
Clarabel Dec 10 1889 to Feb 16 1974

I have access to the Kitchener paper & there was a small obit for William but I couldn't see anything for Clarabel (probably in the Cambridge paper). It says that he was born in Ailsa Craig & was survived by his wife & one daughter, Mina Colvin of Galt (email me at acairns at golden dot net if you want the obit (no charge).

Cheers, John

Hi John,

I've been trying to help a friend in the UK locate his Bonner relatives. They are listed as being buried at Mountview Cemetery as follows:

Caroline Bonner, Section 5
Douglas Bonner, Section 5

Mary Bonner, Section 6

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let me check & see what I can find. I see that Wilfred's brother Fergus was here too but I'm not sure where he went. Fergus was in WW1 & listed his sister in Scotland as next of kin. The family hails from Cumberland county in England.

Cheers, John

Thanks Merv. The marriages I had found, it's the deaths where I hit the wall.

Hi John,

I had found Wilfred and Fergus's marriages and Fergus's military record.

I have just found the obit for Mary Murray Bonner, who d March 30, 1972, and it said her husband, Wilfred, d August of 1950 but haven't been able to find his obit.

Other than the military record for Fergus, I haven't found anything on either he or his wife.

Many thanks for your help.

Kathy
