Because Remembrance Days makes one remember, my cousin has just written me about her goal of finding the only missing member of the family. Charles Arthur McQuarrie born in Feversham May 23, 1888. He was a WWI vet. He was around Collingwood in 1934. He had a sister in Singhampton ON and Vancouver. He was in Valora ON in 1943. In a letter we have, written from Valora in 1943, he was working in a mill. He talked about going to "the Soo" and "the Peg". He was known to have visited family in Saskatoon SK but due to circumstances he was always put back on the train to ON when he wore out his welcome. My question is- I need suggestions in how to search for "Art". He is not buried in Saskatoon, Valora doesn't exist any more, and I don't think he is buried in Collingwood or Feversham. Would the veterans administration know if he was buried as a vet? I am sure he was indigent so no cemetery stone. Where should my cousin start? Suggestions please.

By any chance does the reference to the Soo really mean Sault Ste. Marie, either side of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Ontario Canada. The "Soo, it nickname. I have looked at government records found online. Also, there are military sections of cemeteries in Ontario. -----Original Message----- From: ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Trunthsams@aol.com Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2007 7:20 PM To: Ontario-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ONTARIO] McQUARRIE Because Remembrance Days makes one remember, my cousin has just written me about her goal of finding the only missing member of the family.
