I believe this women to be my great grandmother. A half cousin and I were trying to find more information about my Nana Christine's family history. This led to the knowledge that she had two much younger half sisters. They knew some of Huldah, Christine's mothers sad story. Married at 15 and a mother soon after. Dead at age 26. Is there any way to find out more? We have documentation as to who her husband was and the date they were married and the birth certificate of their daughter Christine. Thank you,

Hi...our family is also related as William and Susan's daughter Thelma Nellie married 2 of my great uncles. She married Wilfred Berry on Oct 21 1933 and then they divorced June 19 1945 and she later married Uncle Harry in about 1948...couldn't find the actual record. Uncle Wilf was missing in action during the war and story goes that he was presumed dead and Thelma and Harry became a couple during that time. Not sure if the story is true or not but Wilf was actually captured by the German and in a war camp from which he and others escaped. He returned to the battle fields and was captured again and when the war ended he was released. Thelma died Sept 10 1962 and is buried in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Vernon (Vernon Cemetery) Section G, Block 39A, Plot 32. Uncle Harry died Jan 21 1970..he was 52. They had a son Richard Way Berry born May 1962
I happened on your site when performing a general search for August Hohendorff. He was nephew of my wife's great-grandmother, and when I found his death certificate listing him as having passed away in this hospital, I thought I should try and find a bit more info for him.
His parents were Sarah (Keigan) and Ottl Hohendorff. While his parents were married in Cape Breton and family was later in Vancouver, according to his death certificate he was born in Sheridan, Wyoming. (The 1921 Canada census also has USA as birth place.)
My family recently found out our grandmother is buried here and we are not comfortable with her being in an unmarked grave. We are planning to purchase and install a proper headstone as we feel she deserves this respect in her final resting place- who do we contact?
Without a headstone, it still seems that she is very much marginalized, even in death.
I worked as film crew shooting at woodlands in 2000 and the BBQ area was still there and there was leaning stacks of 3 or 4 headstones leaning upright near what I recall was a green house near the BBQ area.
In the summer of during the early 80's I got a summer job at Woodlands. Outside of Fraserview they were boasting about their newly installed barbecue area. The recreation staff decided to have a barbecue there for some of the residents. I was there assisting with some of the residents when I noticed one of the patio stones was loose. It was obvious that it had not been installed properly. I lifted it up and turned it over and realized it was a grave stone. I was appalled by the disrespect for whomever it belonged. Later I learned that there had been a grave yard on site. The staff at the time believed the graves were still there but the authorities had ordered the grave stones removed. After a while the stones were secured and you could no longer turn them over.
