Re: Descendants of Geo. Austin Graham & Margaret M. Bryant

Hi Gerry:

I had the name, Gwendolyn Graham in my file with no other info.

Jack took a lot of cemetery photos but apparently never had time to transfer the headstone data he discovered to his file before his untimely death.

Roy Dawson Joyce and Audrey Alustia (Joyce) Wells are now in my bucket list for obits next Monday.

I’ll try rescanning the Parrsboro Records in 1932 to see if the name Austin Graham appears. There should be something especially if the body was shipped back to Port Greville for burial.
