There are local history books for the Douglas and Inglow area. Unfortunately I do not have a copy. The Carberry Library does. both areas are very near Carberry and probably the Carberry News Express is the paper. Carberry also has archives. Penny Shaw the archivist is very helpful. She only works 2 half days a week. She is more than willing to do look ups. They have the Carberry News Express indexed for marriages, obits etc. They have files of pics from the area. The archives is located in the library. Penny can be e-mailed at cparchives@mts.net. When I was there this summer she worked Wed and Thurs. They might have information on Cordova as well.

She came to the Inglow area in 1883. Four years later she was united in marriage to John Lawrence when they took up their residence one mile south of Inglow, where they have since lived. With the husband is left a family of five daughters and three sons, namely: Mrs. R. Shea, Browning, Sask; Mrs. Thos. Hanton, Macklin, Sask.; Mrs. Peckover, Sperling, Man.; Mrs. Alex Fraser, Inglow, Man.; James and John at Browning, Sask. and William on the home farm at Inglow. One sister, Miss Hume lives at Cordova and another out west. > The funeral to Madford cemetery on Monday was largely attended by neighbors and friends who held in the highest esteem the deceased and the bereaved family. > The Carberry News Express > June 13, 1935 > > Would Cordova have a local history book that may have Miss HUME in it? What cemetery might she be buried in and can anyone tell me how to contact. What newspaper would have covered that area for an obituary. Hopefully if I can find the obituary for Miss Hume it will give me a lead into the other sister's name. I believe she also had other family members come to canada with her > > What information I do have on the HUME / LAWRENCE family can be found at > http://www.looking4kin.com/Lawrence/JohnMargaret.htm > > Thanks for any help or suggestions > > M- In Saskatchewan > > > Please visit: > Looking 4 Kin Genealogy Links & Chat > http://www.looking4kin.com > > Our Goal > > To provide for you an active, caring GENEALOGY chat where all with a serious interest in genealogy feel welcome for sharing knowledge, resources, ideas and the making of friendships. > > To provide genealogy resources and weblinks to make tracing your family tree online easier. > > My family sites: > http://www.looking4kin.com/MyFamily.htm > > Good luck in your genealogy quest. > > Researching BUDD COLGAN GRAY HILLMAN LAWRENCE LEUHRING LITTLEJOHN /S HUME McCURDY McINTYRE McNINCH METHERELL PETERS SINCLAIR SAWYER THOMPSON and many more > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Check out the new Yahoo!
