Doris Jean (Wheadon) Murray

["david winter" <david_winter_uid1214@yahoogroups.com>]

Although Doris was born in Truro, N.S. on 8 Sep 1927, her father, Clifford
Arden Wheadon was born in Port Greville, Cumberland County, N.S. while her
grandmother, Ida May Pleshaw was also born in Port Greville.

"Interment" is apparently spelled differently in Ontario I guess.

Her husband's obit. is below as well. I would assume she will be buried in
Great Village, N.S. at a later date with her husband, Keith.
