Thanks so much, Carol, and also to the others of you who have emailed this URL. I have visited this site before, and I think that the OGS does a magnificent job of supplying genealogy information. As does their wonderful genealogy collections room in the library in St Thomas, which I hope to visit again the next time I travel to Ontario. My rellies are listed on this McColl burials list, but not with death dates - and that's my sticking point. Sarah SCHRADER EATON's stone shows her birth year (1865) plus Charles' birth and death years, (1869 - 1938) but no death year for her. (Probably one more reason to have kids... they just might put your death date on your stone.) Probably if I had access to newspapers after 1938, when Charles died, and enough time to go through all of them until I find Sarah, I would have my answer. I just had hoped that there would be an easier way. Of course, if my presumption is correct and she DID die after Charles did, she was 73 when he died, which *might* mean only a few years' worth of newspaper searchings... I think that I have at least partially sidestepped that problem for my own stone, which I just had placed on our family lot. No, I don't expect to use it for some time yet, but the genealogist in me decided that it needed to include: names of my parents, including my mother's maiden name (widely shown in Canada but not so much in the States), my children's names, my siblings' names, and my beloved's name. That should help somebody down the line... Thanks again. I'll keep trying.
