Eric:
Ah, the plot grows deeper. Thanks for the extra data on Charlesetta Newton.
I just realized there¹s an error on my part with Randal Ellsworth Boggs¹
obit. It was published Friday, January 5, 1990 and I have him as deceased 4
Jan 1990 in my file notes. Obviously, the heading: ³Chronicle Herald,
Wednesday, July 16, 1980, pg. #42; Reel #6128, NSARM, Halifax, N.S.² is way
off. Give me until tomorrow to locate the correct heading and I¹ll post it.
Sorry, don¹t know how this happened unless I ³copied & pasted² the heading
from the previous obit I was working on to save time.
To add to the family, I just located what I believe to be Royal Pettigrew¹s
death record. I can¹t make out the first name but Roy Pettigrew is plainly
written. The death record and cemetery record below match in name and death
date.
