| Note | Rudolph Wismer's 1921 marriage registration places his residence in Toronto. The 1957 voters' list has him living on Soudan Avenue in Toronto. When his sister Olive Helena Irwin died in 1974, her death notice tells that her brother Rudolph was living in Huntsville. Page A16 of the April 12, 1986, edition of The Globe & Mail has a death notice for Rudolph. It tells that he was formerly of Manufacturer's Life Insurance and that he died at Huntsville on Friday, April 11, 1986. He is said to be the husband of Gertrude Wismer. The service was to be from Addison Funeral Home of Huntsville on the following Monday (April 14), with entombment at Huntsville. Find-a-Grave locates Rudolph and Lillian in Hutcheson Memorial Cemetery. The word 'entombment' would imply that they were placed in a mausoleum. The photo on Find-a-Grave shows a regular grave site with gravestone. |
