Maxwell Factory In St.Marys Ontario



This is a photo of my Great Grandfather John Massey at work in the Maxwell Factory in St.Marys Ont. John is the guy in the middle with the funny look on his face. I am told he was a bit of a clown at times so the photo would seem to back that up. I think the photo was taken around 1920.

The Coffin Plate of Alexander Cameron 1806 ~ 1889

I have added the Coffin Plate of Alexander Cameron 1806 ~ 1889 to the database on AncestorsAtRest.com. I did a little research on old Alexander and it looks like he may have come from Scotland and lived in New York City. It would take a little more work to confirm this.

Archeologists to recover bodies from downtown Montreal grave yard

The area was once the site of a Roman Catholic cemetery where between 40,000 and 50,000 people were buried.

A number of bodies were moved to Notre-dame-des neiges cemetery when the downtown burial site closed in mid 1850s, but some of the bodies are still there.
