farmed in Westminster. He and other drovers would herd their cattle from London to Port Stanley and ship them to Cleveland or Toronto. Jim drove a Model T Ford to all his duties as postmaster, councillor (1902-1911), Deputy Reeve (1912-1913) and Reeve of Westminster Twp. (1915-1916). He was in the church choir, taught Bible class and was Sunday School superintendent at Brick Street Church.

where is he buried? BSC would be likely.

82. | George Nathan Griffeth* (23.Nathan3, 3.Jane2, 1.Ellen1) was born in 1876; died in 1942. Notes:
DWT says George Nathan Griffith was unmarried. The dates given by DWT coincide with the gravestone saying died 1942 age 65. Being unmarried would make sense that he would be married with his parents. However the gravestone says George M., not George N. I think the gravestone is incorrect.
Griffeth 8

88. | John Skuse* (27.Hannah3, 3.Jane2, 1.Ellen1) was born in Sep 1874; died on 22 Mar 1876. Notes:
something's wrong: he was born 18 months after his mother died; stone specifically says he was a son of B&H Skuse
DWT under Skuse gives his dates as 1869-1871; this makes more sense.
Skuse 2
died age 18 months
