Of course, more information would be helpful!
He died March 12 1935, was born 1875ish in Belfast, Ireland
Wife was Frances Higginson
Father was George Chapman, mother was Elizabeth Currie

Ahh, yes, I had seen it on familysearch but wasn't sure it was the correct person.
Known dates are helpful for newspaper look-ups as it saves much time.

Says he died at the East General Hospital on March 12, 1935. Joseph Chapman, beloved husband of Frances Elizabeth Higginson, father of Mrs William Faver. Funeral from his home 876 Carlaw Avenue. Interment Pine Hills Cemetery.

There is a very lovely picture of her along with the obituary.

Norma's obituary says that she is the last of her family... in that case, I can post the names of her siblings (children of Elsie Chapman Faver, and grandchildren of Joseph and Frances Chapman).
Eileen Faver Grenier...
Here is an obituary for her husband Joseph Emanuel Grenier - about a third of the way down the page
