In case anyone missed the connection, Albert Thomas Dwyer's wife, Isabel is

below his.
Secondly, I have read through the 1969 Amherst Daily News at NSARM on Monday
looking for a Harriet E. DeMont obit. with no luck. I also read through the
1954 Amherst Daily News from 26 Oct forward for a month looking for a Norman
J. DeMont obit. with no luck.
These DeMonts were originally from Windsor, moved over to Port Greville
before 1891, then up to Southampton sometime after 1903. Isabel's great
aunt, Annie DeMont m/1 Daniel Winters on 29 Apr 1903 at Parrsboro.
