  • Notes 
    • Died while visiting her sister Mrs Cross in St Catherines for a month.

      Flowery description in death notice (see Jane Jeffrey Library Item 1)

      Lived in Peterborough from 1852 to the time of death.

      Funeral took place from her home at the corner of Stewart and Brock (271 Brock St) in Peterborough. Rev Mr Torrance of St Paul's (Presbyterian) officiated.

      William Campbell's unreferenced notes show Peterborough as place of death, but that is most likely burial spot.
