Dear fellow listers, A few days ago during a visit to the home of a distant relative (by marriage) now living in B.C. I made some notes from two undated newspaper clippings which recorded the passing of Mrs. Thomas Bowering, at the age of 39 years, of Country Road, CB, NL on November 23rd....She was the aunt of a man who was born in the year 1917. In order to add to the information already collected about this family line of NL, I am asking for your help to determine the birth date of Mrs. Bowering, ( nee ***Emma Richards daughter of Thomas Richards Bareneed). The two small clippings were found in a envelope (unstamped and undated) which was addressed to a Miss Jennie Dawe (born at Bareneed, NL and d.1948) of 13 Byron Street, Bradford, Mass. Here is information taken from the clippings. �Mr. Thomas Bowering of Country Road desires to thank those who sent wreaths to adorn the coffin of his dear wife and those who assisted during the time of her illness...
