Author: rcroughwell Surnames: Canning Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.canning/377/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Edward J Canning is the son of Thomas Canning and Judith (Julia) Canning. He was born in Saranac,NY in abt 1852. He left Saranac, NY and ended up in Boston,MA . From information I was given and that which I found, he died 29 Nov 1871 in Boston,MA. I was told that he died of typhoid fever and that he was a molder. He is buried in Dorchester RC . Dorchester RC is now called St. Mary's Cemetery in Dorchester,MA. I am looking for some help in obtaining his obituary. I believe it may be in a Dorchester Newspaper or possibly in a Boston paper. I have done some searching and I have not been successful in locating the obituary. Any help in finding the obituary would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
