Hi All, I was hoping someone might have some knowledge of or have an obituary for a Martha Crane who passed away possibly the last year or so .Not sure about how accurate my information or dates are .I was told Martha was the companion of John Hustuc (unsure of correct spelling ). John many years ago operated a corner store in the Sydney /Glace Bay area. Thanks , Arlene _________________________________________________________________
