Helen Turnbull Burnett died April 26, 1909, at Galt. Born Scotland December 15, 1816. Age 93 yrs., 4 mos., 11 dys. Widow. Physician Dr. A. Thomson. Informant W. Burnet, Galt. The space for Helen's parentage is filled in, but the informant, almost certainly Helen's son, misunderstood the question. He took it to refer to his parents and so he entered Arthur Burnet and Helen Turnbull, both born Scotland. This occasionally happened and can be found on other registrations. |
