If you go to the PANB website and look up Daniel Johnson's newspaper abstracts, you will find 2 entries for Harvey Milton, both in Jan., 1890 and not 1877. Search for "Harvey" Milton, not Harvie.

Bill: You are correct I made an error in the date which should read 9 January 1890 in the death of Mr. Milton and not 9 January 1877, however, the obit stated his name as Harvie Milton of Port Grenville, N.S. Thanks for bringing the date of accident to my attention.
