At Maple Ridge Cemetery, Winchester, Ontario

Finding John and Mary buried together was a surprise to Ted because in 1887 John and daughter Chloe were living in Ogdesnburg(h), NY sans wife and mother. Ted said John had a reputation for his irascible temper and felt perhaps Mary had left him and moved back to Canada. Another surprise was finding "Dr." before his name; we still don't know the answer to that one.
