The Coffin Plate Of Franklin Heyer 1870

Franklin Heyer

Died July 22nd 1870

Aged 2 yrs 5 mos 8 days

This Coffin Plate for Franklin Heyer was found with the coffin plate of Issac Heyer. Issac Heyer died in 1900 at the age of 71 so I would guess that Franklin was the son of Isaac.

Coffin Plate Of Elmer A Butler

This is the coffin plate for poor little Elmer A Butler. Elmer died on Feb 17th 1875 at the age of 2 years and 7 months. As little Elmer was only 2 in 1875 we will not be able to find him on the census. But perhaps someone will know who he was.

Death of Doris Hardisty, Guelph Wellington Co. Ontario

A Yearbook I bought on yielded this Death Notice:

DORIS HARDISTY

The late Doris Hardisty who passed away early on Saturday morning November 1st was a student in Form IV A and her death cast a mantle of gloom over the studen body of the Collegiate. When we remember her attractive personality and the great promise of her life, her death is particularly sad. in school and school activities, in Church, in Young Peoples' organizations, she is greatly missed.

A search of the Death Records on Ancestry.com revealed that Doris died of acute peritonitis after an operation in Guelph General Hospital (Ontario Canada). Gangrene set in and Doris died at the age of 16 years and 10 months. She was the daughter of Ernest Edward Hardisty and Lily Burton, both born England.
