Devonshire/Clara Canfield Sent: Feb 25, 2010 2:40 PM Hi Maureen, This is Dee Robinson, Reference Librarian at Swan Library. I looked for and found an obituary for John. In the Orleans Republican ( here in Albion) Wednesday, April 10, 1940, under the column "Deaths" "John Devonshire. John Devonshire, who lived alone at Ashwood, was found dead yesterday morning at his home. He was about 80 years old. The body has been brought to Merrill's Funeral Home, where the funeral will take place Friday at 10 a.m." He is the only one I found an obit for. By looking at the Orleans County census records at the Orleans County Genweb site, I found what you probably have already found that: John was the son of John and Catherine. The father was a blacksmith and John L. was also a blacksmith listed in the 1880 and 1892 census. In the 1900 census for Town of Shelby, Village of Medina, it lists John Devonshire as blacksmith and living with him was Leon age 8. I haven't been able to find any trace of Leon after that. It also indicates in this census that John was age 67, born Vt. and that his parents were born in France. Sorry, I wish I could help you more.

Hi Ed, I found the obit for Harold H. Stone in the Albion Advertiser Thursday September 14, 1950 p.7 it reads: "Harold H. Stone died unexpectedly Wednesday, Sept. 6 at his home in Carlton Station, aged 61 years. He was a member of the Albion Lodge of Elks and Masonic lodge and the Baptist Church. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks Stone of Carlton; a son, George Stone, of Albion; two daughters, Mrs. Geraldine Marshall of Hamlin, and Mrs. Erva Burdett of Germantown, Md., a brother, John Stone, of Rochester, and seven grandchildren. Services were held on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the McNall Funeral Home, Rev. W. A. Nixon officiating." Hope this helps. If you want a hard copy I can send it out - just send me a mailing address. If this email is enough just let me know.
