I came across a picture of grave marker for Harold John Strachan who died Oct 8 1901 but I can not find him in the BC archives death records. Where would he have died? He was a plumber in Nelson and had a house build for him that is listed in the Nelson historical house walk. The house was built shortly before his death. What and where did he die? or any other information on this person would be of great interest to me. Thanks
