I can check out these two certificates tomorrow and check for Laura Duck's obituary if it is the right one. I can check out the Vancouver obit on Sunday.

Thank you so much for this obituary information. The parental info is all off but she certainly is the daughter of ALFRED WOLFE JOHNSON & MARY BURTON. I didn't have son DIGBY HARDY's date of death. Did it say where he died? Any chance I might be able to get his obituary too if he died in area?

Great to get this information!
