I have two obits from my Ontario relatives and I am searching for any of the relatives mentioned in the following:

Peterborough Examiner December 8, 1904
Mr. W.H. Mullins, son of one of Norwood's first settlers, passed away at his home in Hamilton, Ontario on Friday. Mr. Mullins and family left Norwood about 10 yrs ago, entering into business in Brooklyn, NY, but owing to ill health he was compelled to give up business, and leave for California. The climate not agreeing with him there, he came back and resided in Hamilton, on the Mountain, where he died.
Mr. Mullins was at one time one of the largest property owners in Norwood, Peterborough, Ontario. The deceased leaves a wife and a large family.

NORWOOD NEWS NOTES 5/20/1985
Peterborough Examiner

Last Saturday, one of Norwood's oldest citizens passed away in the person of Michael Mullins. Deceased was over 85 years of age and has been in feeble health for some time so that death was not altogether unexpected. He was born in Ireland, but has resided the greater part of his life in Norwood, Peterborough, Ontario. Three sons, Messrs, Morris, Michael and William Mullins and two daughters, Mrs. O.A. Brennan and Mrs. E. Ball, all residing in Brooklyn, are left to mourn his loss. The funeral took place on Monday to the Roman Catholic cemetary, Rev. Father Conway officiating.

I sure would love to hear from anyone on how I can trace any of these mentioned people in Brooklyn, NY. I have no idea where in Brooklyn, NY. I did find a John Mullins owned a furniture store in Brooklyn and I did find where some Mullen's were butchers. I guess I'd be able to link them better if I found the Mrs. Ball and Mrs. Brennan. Seeing that Michael's obit did not mention any specific names, puts a clincher on things.
I hope a family researcher will see this, or someone who can assist.
