Hello,
I am searching for an obit that I understand from a cousin was placed in the Brandon Manitoba Sun Newspaper, but the copy was damaged and all of the content could not be read.
Here are the particulars...
William Waters
b. 13 Feb 1897
d. 17 July 1957
Brandon, Manitoba
Thank you so much.

Will see if I can find it again for you...I'll get back to you when I have checked for it J.J.

Thank you so much JJ. This list is so great!
Looking forward to seeing if you can locate it.

do you have the actual date/page from the newspaper? save me some time in case I need to look at the actual reels...
-
No sorry JJ I don't. Just the death date of d. 17 July 1957. I assume it would be a couple days past that date?

I will eventually do your lookup, I haven't totally forgotten...
I had written the wrong date down last time and went through the wrong papers...
I went today, but only had a small window of time and didn't get back to the microfilm,,,
will try to do it next visit downtown... Can you wait? J.J.

Hi JJ,
You're my only hope so yes I can wait. Do you need me to resend info?
Hope all is well with you.
Looking forward to your reply.

I looked for your person and no luck for me... That newspaper microfilm is badly imaged, and so may not be all there, but I checked about a weeks worth through, and again on the backtrack...and could not locate it...
However, I did search later years for any Waters I could find in Brandon, and have compiled a file with those newspaper clippings. They may or may not be descendants, but there may be a clue in there that rings a bell....
If you want these clippings, please private message your email address to me ( do not post it on the thread) with the surname in the subject line as I have done several others as well...
all the best, J.J.

If you need anything from my neck of the woods (southwestern Ontario) or in scotland, please let me know.
Best Regards,
Jamie
