Mountain View Cemetery - Photo Request

Mountain View Cemetery - Photo Request

Classification: Cemetery
Surnames: Downhill
Hi, this is probablly the wrong time of year to request a photo of a grave, but here goes...

Mountain View Cemetery and Crematorium
Plot: JONES/*/23/006/0014

Frederick Downhill
Born Jun., 1870, Hyde, Cheshire, England
Died Jul. 13, 1933, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Unknown if his grave has a wife attached. His wife stayed in England, she died in 1944, buried England.

Death Cert- says he was married.
13 Jul 1933, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, died age 63, married.
Source: British Columbia, Death Registrations, 1872-1986, British Columbia Archives film no.: B13148; Film no.: 1952855; Digital folder no.: 004438054; Image no.: 00935; Regis. no.: 28301.

Family history occupations were Railway men, his brother died in 1906 in Saskatoon, so just maybe he "worked his way across?"

Frederick has a Find A Grave site for more information-

Any help appreciated and I totally understand if Spring needs to come before a trek to the cemetery is feasible!
~thanks, Sue

Mountain View is in the city of Vancouver, Aggasiz ( pronounced Aggasee) is a very small town about 140km east of Vancouver.

My husband and I often go for drives out that way during the summer. It's a beautiful area. I could try to get photo for you, if you like.
