August 30, 2013 Edna Mary Austin, b. 11 Mar 1902 in Parry Sound District (near Novar probably), d. 1 Jul 1903 in Parry Sound District (near Novar probably), parents Alexander Potter Austin 1859-1945 & Eliza Jeanette Buck 1869-1934. Buried St. Andrew's United Cemetery, Novar, Perry Township. Parry Sound District, Ontario, Canada. Looking for verification of birth/death information as just hearsay from G Granddaughter of Alex & Jeanette Austin given to her in a written family tree by her father Beverly Whaley Austin 1936-2007. One would think that by 1902/1903 there would be birth/death documentation, given law passed in 1869. I checked Huntsville Forester newspaper and no luck finding any mention of this.
I was involved in writing in writing the history book for Perry Township, of which Novar is part of.
The Austin family is part of the bookEdna May did die at age one in 1903. Born in 1902. she is buried at St Andrew's cemetery in Novar.Our research notes are at our local library which is closed at the present time and like everything else has no opening date. There are still Austin descendents living in the area.
