When I first looked for McNeil in the Burial reg.... for Strathroy Cem .. and from there looked up the old newspaper obits .. I was a little confused .. as there was more than one Malcolm McNeil .. hence I found ... Burial reg .." McNeil Mrs Mac Feb 18 1941 / McNeil Malcolm Dec 27, 1941 / McNeil Malcolm (Doris Daughter) Dec 9 1944" .. so hence the first obit, I hunted up, was the wrong Malcolm .. from Dec 1941 .. "Malcolm McNeil - The funeral of Malcolm C McNeil well known retired farmer of Caradoc Township and resident of Strathroy for the last 10 years, was held from the residence, Colborne Street on Sat with the Rev H D Cameron officiating. Interment was made in Strathroy Cemetery with two Donald McNeills, two John McNeills, Duncan McNeill and Wilbur McLeish acting pallbearers. Mr McNeil died on Wed night at his home following a lengthy illness, in his 76th year. He was born in Caradoc Township, son of the late Donald McNeill and Margaret Campbell McNeill and lived all his life in that township until his retirement 10 years ago. He was a member of St Andrews Presbyterian Church. He is survived by one sister Miss ..? McNeill with whom he lived."
Now as I say ... this is the obit. for the other Malcolm McNeil... in the Strathroy Ontario Canada area ... but now that I look closer .. I think your Malcolm is McNEIL ... and the other Malcolm McNEILL
