DeMont's of Port Greville
List:
In trying to zero in on more data around Annie DeMont; m/1 Daniel Winters;
m/2 James Wilson Smythe, I located these three obits. below.
Would anyone on the list be researching the DEMONT's or know if there are
more DEMONT headstones in Maccan Cemetery OR Highland View Cemetery? Some
clues to Albert and Carolyn DeMont and/or their son, Norman DeMonts' death
dates and locations might help me locate their obits. at NSARM.
Thanks in advance
Dave Winter
