      William C. Timmins: The death occurred quite suddenly this morning, at his residence, 61 LeMarchant Street, of William C. Timmins. Mr. Timmins, who was a gardener by occupation, had been in the employ of some of our most prominent citizens. He was 53 years of age and had always enjoyed excellent health, so that his death following an illness of four days duration, was a great shock to the members of his family. He is survived by his wife, two sons and three daughters, of whom the eldest - Mrs. C.B. Gibson - resides in Toronto. His mother, one brother and five sisters also survive him. The funeral will take place on Friday, at 2:30 pm.

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THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED AS OF JANUARY 2024.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.
