Land Records:

The above death registration shows the residence of William at the time of his death as lot 24 in the 3rd concession of Nassagaweya, and this may be correct. There is some evidence to this effect, though the available Abstract Index information does not quite carry to 1904. There is more compelling evidence that William was on lot 24 of the 4th concession from 1859. This latter record, the west half of lot 24, shows the record of a will of William's, of which John Wesley Husband was one of the executors. What followed was the sale of the property 'and other lands' in March of 1905.
