      The death occurred on Saturday night, near Bankview, of Miss Josephine Howe, formerly of Halifax, N.S. Miss Howe was 33 years of age. She came here about two years ago seeking to overcome the grip of tuberculosis. She had resided with an aunt. The disease was too farm advanced to overcome, and from it death resulted.
      The funeral took place this afternoon from Graham & Buscombe's parlors to the Union cemetery. Rev. Mr. MacWilliams, of Grace Presbyterian church, officiated.

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED AS OF JANUARY 2024. ENTRIES FOR SOME GENEALOGIES WILL NOT REFLECT SOURCE CITATIONS AS THE RESEARCH WAS STILL IN PROGRESS. The Friends of McNabs Island Society, a registered charity based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, established this genealogical website partly in response to the growing interest in family history research and enquiries arising from that interest. Volunteers with professional genealogical experience have undertaken the research. To the degree possible, the research follows accepted standards of genealogical research, with appropriate evidence and source citations.
