GENERATION 3

The grey granite on the left is located in a very small church graveyard in Niagara Co, Ontario.  The red granite to the right can be found in Ridgeway, Niagara Co, Ontario. Grace and James were my maternal grandparents.

GENERATION 4

This flat, grey granite is located in Hamilton, Wentworth Co, Ontario.

GENERATION 5

This stone is located in Hamilton, Wentworth Co, Ontario; same cemetery as above.

GENERATION 6

GENERATION 7

The red granite stone show two generations:  John & Elizabeth on the obverse; and their son, Thomas and his wife Bethia on the reverse.  The stone is located in St, Phillip’s Cemetery, in Weston, York County, Ontario.
