Re: Roland Marsh&Ruth (Marsh)Slauenwhite obits

Hi Ruth:

Thanks.

I copied Roland¹s obit today and that of Ruth Isabel Slaunwhite but from the
way they write obits in Ontario, I wasn¹t sure if it was the right Ruth.

I don¹t know why Ontario Funeral Homes write their obits with no parents
names or place of birth included.

Would Bob H. have a birth date and birth location for Ruth? I¹m not too
concerned when she was baptized.
