    3. I live in the northwest corner of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Following are two obituaries that were printed somewhere locally. I can't be more specific about the source; whoever accumulated this collection did not indicate the source. It might have been an East Jordan newspaper but that still leaves the question of which one. 1944 specific date unknown Anna Reta Carr, born September 15, 1891 at Port Hope to Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Carr. Married John Kiley Bader at East Jordan, Mich. June 24, 1914, died August 8, 1962. I also have his obit. 1958 Services were held June 10th in Victoria, British Columbia for Ila Etcher Hackett who died there June 6th. Mrs. Hackett was a former East Jordan resident. She was born April 6, 1882, at Port Hope, Canada, and came here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Etcher, when she was a small child. They moved to British Columbian in 1917. Surviving are one daughter, a grand daughter, a sister, Mrs. Ila Gibbs at Waterbury, Connecticutt, a step-brother, Albert Etcher and a step sister, Dorothy Brooks of BC and her step-mother, Mrs. Dan Swartz of Charlevoix. Final thought. From time to time I see obituaries of people born in other parts of Ontario, such as Brantford and Bobcageon. If I send them to this list (the only Ontario list I know about) would someone else take responsibility for re-directing them? Elden
