Looking for any info on John W. CHISHOLM and Mary "Minnie" CHISHOLM. He was born in 1866 in Glassburn, N.S. and died in 1915. He was married to Mary "Minnie" CHISHOLM, who was born in 1871 and died in 1972. They are buried in Heatherton Cemetery along with their son Colin, who died in 1973. They had 9 children: Cassie, Florence, Margaret, John Alexander, Jennie, Mary, Anna, Colin, and Bernard. I believe Mary died in infancy. Colin lived in the home of Alex Chisholm, the first Chisholm to come to N.S. Sue
Anyone know where I can get a copy of a book called "The History of The Town of Antigonish" by D.G. Whidden?? Sue
