I tried that, thank you, and it did give me access to the story page, but I still can't get the links at the bottom of the page to work. It does indicate that this was taken from a cached page, visited in November, and that there may be new or changed material. (My cache setting has been at 0 days since forever, so I don't know what else to do there.) I will keep trying, but no joy so far. Anyway, the relative I am researching, buried in McColl Cemetery, is Sarah SCHRADER EATON, wife of Charles EATON. I have searched Heather Bertram's (Steve Marshall, et al) wonderful site http://www.rootsweb.com/~onvsr/ and have not found any information on either of them. The rest of Sarah's family seems to have been buried in other cemeteries in Aldborough Twp, Elgin County (except that I have never found her sister, Rebecca SCHRADER) and I don't know why Sarah/Charles were buried in that particular cemetery - unless it was that the SCHRADER family lived just west of McColl's. I find no other connections for either of them in that cemetery. So, then, how else does one track down death information when one does not know the death year? Where have I not looked? Thank you all so much for your suggestions. It all makes searching a whole lot more interesting and exciting!
