Below
are some of the BMD’s, and miscellaneous Newspaper Items I have come across
while researching my family tree. Some items
were difficult to read, even with a magnifying glass, so I have added a “( )”
or “?” around the letter, word or date that I am unsure of and have added what
I think it looks like. If you see in
brackets (rest was cut off) that just means, that when I was copying the page,
I didn’t copy the whole thing, and cut off that particular item. You will have to check the microfilm, for the
remainder of the information. I have
highlighted the families (the ones that I know of), which are connected to ours
by using Bold
Type. Good luck in your search.

DEATHS…
HARTNEY MR. PATRICK HARTNEY - A life-long resident of Perth and a well-known and highly respeted nonagenarian passed away on Sunday last in the person of Mr. Patrick Hartney. Ninety-one years ago the late Mr. Hartney was born in Limerick County, Ireland, and when a young man of twenty he left the Emerald Isle and crossed the seas to make his home in the new land. Coming almost directly to Perth, Mr. Hartney has lived through the development of this town from a comparatively small village to a thriving and industrious town. In this development Mr. Hartney had his share, and it is with sincere regret that the Expositor is now called upon to chronicle the death of another of this country's rugged pioneers to whom the present generation owes so much. The late Mr. Hartney was a quiet man but was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Mrs. Hartney, whose maiden name was Margaret Hogan, predeceased her husband twelve years ago. There are surviving one daughter, Miss Anne Hartney of town, an only son, James, having died some four years ago. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning from the family home on Grant Street to St. John's Church and Cemetery, Rev. Dean Hogan singing Requiem Mass. The pall-bearers were Messrs. John Russell, M. McCarthy, M. McGlade, John Hartney, Jas. Publow and James Kane. Among those attending the funeral were Mr. Lloyd Hartney, of Toronto, grandson of deceased, and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hogan of Smiths Falls. (1 Mar 1923)
