The 1922 page for Prospect Cemetery's burial book shows the above basic information for Jean's passing. The number of her burial plot is rather scribbled on the page, but the plot, Section 18, lot 1002 (#1) is taken from the Mount Pleasant Group's website. Her age as shown on her death registration and her burial page works out to a birth year of 1855, which should be about correcrt. The burial book does show her place of birth as Wingham, and her family was there some years after her birth. It's safe to say that the family was located in McKillop Township at the time of her birth and that is likely where she was born.
