During a review of the Dawe surnames transcribed from the records
in the Coley's Point Anglican cemetery I noted the following words
opposite site#237 quote: " Hemell R.N.R. son of Edmund and the
late Jane Hemell of Sandwich Bay Labrador Aug. 29, 1914 25
years 'who answered the call to duty and was striken with brain
fever and died at Coley's Point"

Site #237 is located between #236, Dawe, Malcom A, Mar. 2, 1916
26 years 6 months Robert Dawe also his father Aug 11,1932 age
83 years and Dawe Rebecca Laura also his mother Sept. 17,1895
83? years.....and...site#238 which records 5 members of the
Barrett family 1852-1936.

Questions:
#1. noting the words 'who answered the call to duty', I wonder if
the R.N.R. refers to 'Royal Newfoundland Regiment' rather than
personal initials ?

#2. What is the present day name for where was than named
Sandwich Bay, Labrador?

#3. What does the SEARY book say about the surname Hemell?
