Death reg. 037775-20 Margaret Jean Colvin, age 31, born Wingham, Ontario, June 1. Place of death 169 Concession Street. She is said to have lived at this address for two years and in Ontario always. Her father was said to be William Bone, born in England. Her mother's name is not given. The informant in her death is Dr. Buchanan of Galt and said to be her uncle, which he was by marriage. Dr. Buchanan attended her from March of 1919 to the day of her death. Influenza was said to be a contributing factor. She was buried in Mountview Cemetery on February 12.

Since Norman Colvin is listed in the Toronto City Directories from 1913 to 1918, it would appear from the above information that the family moved from Toronto to Galt some time in 1918. The U.S. 1930 census taken at New York City places him there and states that he became a U.S. citizen in 1923. He was likely there for at least some duration before becoming a citizen, so he likely left Galt not long after Margaret's death.
