Re: Horace Edward Hughes s/o Robert Hughes Fox River

Thanks Deb. I didn’t have Horace Edward Hughes’ obit.

With that, I then found his wife’s obit on nsobits.ca

Edna references a daughter, Kimberly Leslie not mentioned in Horace’s obit.

Not sure if “Leslie” is a maiden surname, middle name or married surname.
