Springhill’s Moss Journal:
Canning, William A. Sr. (Mrs.) May 14, 1959 January 1, 1877 82 y Kennedy ,
Minnie M. LM? d/ o Wm. & Fanny; m. July 12, 1887
[She’d be age 10 getting married????]
I believe there��s an error here and should be Lillian Austin;
Minnie Kennedy, William's m/1, died 1916. Wil liam Canning was married to
a Lillian when he died in 1946. Someone confused m/1 , Minnie with m/2,
Lillian.
