Hello Everyone and Happy Thanksgiving. I am trying to find out the burial place of my grandfather Frank C. Johnson, who was born in Fesserton, Ontario on Feb. 26, 1879 and died in Parry Sound on Feb. 21, 1918. His death certificate lists his burial as blank. His parents were James Johnson and Catherine Craddock. I have checked some of the cemeteries in Parry Sound, but have found nothing. Wondering if he could have been taken to Simcoe County for burial. Anyway, to check this out? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks Barbara barbara24@Smpatico.ca
