Continuing with Haldimand County Ontario obituaries, is an Obit for Robert Waite, age 47 who died February 27, 1898 in Dunnville.
I found a record of Robert's death on Ancestry
Name: Robert Waite
Gender: Male
Age: 47
Birth Date: abt 1851
Birth Place: St Catharines, Ontario
Death Date: 27 Feb 1898
Death Place: Haldimand, Ontario, Canada
Religion: Episcopal
Cause of Death: Exposure To Cold
This seems a mystery in the making! Exposure to cold? What happened? There are no further details on the image other than his occupation of carpenter.
ReplyDeleteLorrine,
I checked Family Search. In the 1891 census there is:
Robert Waite, age 39, carpenter, living in Dunnville,
Charles Waite, age 40, actor
Lilian Waite, age 31
Clayton Waite, age 4
One of my husband's Connell ancestors married Margaret Waite, born 1866, died 1954, but there does not seem to be a connection with this Waite.
