Your Aaron sure is a mystery. I found an index card to his death at the genealogical library. He was buried in Calvary Cemetery. The LMFH is the funeral home that took care of the arrangements. In this case it was Langevin-Mussetter Funeral Home. As you can see by the index cards, there's the alternate spelling of CantOR. I called L-M Funeral Home to see if I could get a copy of his funeral records and they "don't THINK that they have records dating that far back". I could tell she was not interested in looking. So, I called Calvary Cemetery, who's always been helpful, and the lady there did find an index card to his death that shows he was buried in Calvary. This index card then tells her which book to look in for the original record. Here's the twist...he was not in that book. So, she's going to do some double checking, etc. and make sure it wasn't a typo and call me back at the end of the week. Not to mention, I couldn't find an obituary or death notice in the newspapers.

You can see I found index cards on his parents who were buried in the Tahoma Cemetery. Aaron's sister, Ida Leon Canter, who died at 18 months, is also buried in Tahoma Cemetery. I wonder why they are all buried in Tahoma and Aaron is off in Calvary by himself?

Hi Amanda,

Thank you so much for the info on Aaron, John & Talitha Canter.

The cemetery card definitely proves that I had the right son with his father; Mitchel A. C. Canter and mother, Martha Bailey (Dale).

I will wait to hear back from you when you get some more information.

Thank you so much for your time.

If you want to contact me directly......kdkleinberg@yahoo.com is my e-mail address.

Hi Amanda,

I was just wondering if you found out any more information on Aaron Canter????

My thoughts on why he was buried at the Calvary Cemetery could be because he died right after they arrived in Yakima and the family had not bought a "family plot" anywhere??

I want to thank you again for all your help and information. If you want, you can e-mail me direct at kdkleinberg@yahoo.com or continue with the Rootsweb posting.

thanks again

Karen
