Cornell, teacher, Ancaster Township. Physician Dr. Smith. Ontario death registrations are at present only available into the early 1940s. Caroline, or Carolyn as she seems to have been known, had an informative obituary in the Friday, September 4th, 1953 edition of the Ottawa Journal which tells that she died in Kingston on Thursday (the 3rd.) She was known to her friends and co-workers as Cay Cornell and had a career in journalism, first with the Winnipeg Telegram, and then with the Winnipeg Tribune. It tells that she was born at Ancaster on Mary 24th, 1876, which agrees with her birth registration. Her career in journalism is discussed and it tells of her sketches of 64 Canadian Victoria Cross winners. She spent her last seven years living with her sister, Mrs. J. E. Ruby, in Smiths Falls. The obituary concludes that her funeral was to be in Watford in St. James Anglican Church on Saturday (the 5th). |
