Hi Dave,
Yes, I have the obituaries for Arthur Richard Horton and his wife, Geraldine Douglas Jewkes . In fact, I posted them earlier today. Here are copies:
Aug. 7, 1968 Halifax Chronicle Herald:
ARTHUR RICHARD HORTON, 70, Parrsboro, died yesterday at the Halifax Infirmary. Born in Springhill, he was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Horton. He is survived by his wife, the former Geraldine Jewkes; two sons, Edwin, Glenholme; Gerald, Chicago; one brother, Walter, Amherst; one sister, Thelma (Mrs. John Ferguson), Springhill. The body is at Smith's Funeral Home, Parrsboro. The funeral service will be held Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at the Parrsboro United Church. Interment will be in the church cemetery.
Dec. 5, 1985 Halifax Chronicle Herald:
PARRSBORO - Mrs. Geraldine D. Horton, 82, of Smith Avenue, Parrsboro, died Wednesday in Parrsboro Hospital. Born in Springhill, she was the daughter of the late Arthur and Edith (Arsenault) Jewkes. She is survived by seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Arthur; two sons, Gerald and E.A. (Ted); two sisters, Eleanor and Verna; four brothers, Robert, Joseph, Lloyd and Arthur. The body has been cremated. A memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Saturday in Trinity United Church, Parrsboro, Rev. Andrew Sterling officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Trinity United Church or South Cumberland Memorial Hospital.
I posted 10 obituaries today - if you're certain that you did not receive these two, can you let me know. (I think some others on the list have missed one or two on some other days... and on another day, several obituaries did not end up in the archives... even though some members received all that I had were posted.)
Gerry

Hi Gerry:
Thanks.
Would anyone have the obit for Arthur Richard Horton and Geraldine Douglas
Jewkes¹ son, Gerald Douglas Horton?
I have him deceased sometime before 4 Dec 1885.
Gerald married Joan Virginia Durant-Reid from Parrsboro.
