One piece of new data like the obit below often reveals
other clues leading
to several more new pieces of data.

OBITUARY: Annie Berry
Maccan, Sept. 16 - The death of Annie May Berry, age 76,
took place at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Clarence Bigney, early Saturday
morning, after an
illness of two weeks, following a paralytic stroke. The late
Miss Berry was
a daughter of the late Edward and Paulina (Ward) Berry of
Maccan. She
resided for several years following the death of his wife,
with a brother at
Parrsboro, but spent the greater part of her life at Maccan
where she was
well known and highly respected. For the past number of
years she had lived
with her sister on the homestead where she spent her
childhood. Owing to
failing health and faculties she had of late years been
confined much to her
home, where, however, she took an active interest in
household affairs, and
her sudden seizure came as a shock to the members of her
family, to whom the
sympathy of their many friends is extended. She is survived
by one brother,
Leonard of Boston and one sister, Maud (Mrs. Bigney) of
Maccan.
