Looking for help::t�. find aunt
Dear Editor,
Back in 2006 I contacted the
Mountview cemetery in Galt, to find
my aunt that was buried on Oct. 29,
1917. She was five -years -old at her
time of death. I wanted to
put a marker on her o the
grave.When I called the
cemetery they told me she
was not at this cemetery.
For two years I have been calling and
writing different cemeterys within a
50 mile radius of Galt with no luck.
Then last month a relative found an
old family Bible. In it was a newspa-
perclipping with my aunt's death
notice. It says she was buried at
Mountview cemetery.
I'm from Michigan, but most of my
family was from the Galt, Plattsville,
Brussels area. And most of them were
buried at Mountview and Ayr ceme-
terys. My .aunt's name was Verna
Jessie Cowan. My grandfather's name
was Archibald (Archie) Scott Cowan;
grandmother's name was
Fjiitor Isabella Wells
Clark/Cowan and she was
Letters buried in Michigan.
If there is anybody out
there that was related to, or new any of
the Cowans that lived at 11 Selkert St.
in Galt, or the Clarks from the
Cambridge area, or the Plattsview area
or somebody that could help my
please call or email me. Thank you
very much.
