Brandon Manitoba Sun Newspaper Lookup PLEASE
« on: Sunday 15 March 09 16:40 GMT (UK) »
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.

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.
