    1. Re: [ON-CEM] Death in Alberta; burial in Ontario
    2. Richard McCutcheon
    3. Hello Frances: I afraid I can't help you much except to point out that both Aurora and Bradford were on the same CNR line running north out of Toronto. After crossing the Holland River and passing through Bradford, that line swung north parallel with the western shore of Lake Simcoe towards Barrie and beyond. My old map doesn't show any rail link to Bond Head which is located about 6 miles west of Bradford and about mid-way between two north/south CNR tracks. However, that second line runs north out of Hamilton and does not appear to have a station that would be any closer to Bond Head than was Bradford. Hope that helps.
