Dear Judy;

Thanks a lot for checking. It sounds like sometime between 1939 and
1979 the tombstone for Charles MacKinnon was destroyed or lost, which is
what I suspected. I'll have to keep looking for a death date for him
elsewhere.

I'm planning to order copies of the cemetery transcriptions for a number
of different cemeteries, including the People's Cemetery in Summerside,
where a lot of my relatives are buried, and the Canoe Cove transcription
as well. My MacKinnons lived in Canoe Cove from about 1809 to the
1860s, when many of them moved to Summerside, and then later to the
Brae/Coleman area.

Thanks again.

Joan MacKinnon
