Thanks Dave

If John died in 1875, then the ages for Lucy and Florence are incorrect below. Found Lucy's birthdate to be Apr 1873 and Florence Willetta to be 15 June 1875.

Clara was the d/o John Bruce Pettis and Annie Amelia McNamara of Port Greville. I have John Pettis died 26 Oct 1875 at sea. Is this correct?
