Hello Florence, I went to the main library today and looked through microfiche of the Winnipeg Daily Free Press (not sure if I got the name exactly correct but it's was the only newspaper published in Wiinipeg in 1887), I read the papers from Wednesday August 6, 1887 to Wednesday August 13, 1887 but unfortunately I didn't find any mention of Maria Rosina "Rose" Denning's death. There wasn't an obituary section as such, just mention of local events, such as weddings, appointments, church gatherings, etc.. I'm going to have another look at the newspapers when I go again. I also checked the Henderson Directory which lists local business, lists all the streets and intersections by number and who occupies the premises, and also an alphabetical list of residents. I looked for the name Denning in the years 1886 and 1887 but again I'm sorry to tell you I found nothing. I haven't done this before so it took me a while to get comfortable finding my way around and using the microfiche equipment, ! but I got some very good help and an interesting booklet that has provided some other resources. As soon as I get some free time I'll do some more searching at the library and archives for you and see if I can find something for you.
