Looking for Thomas Hope's obituary
« on: Monday 24 August 15 22:27 BST (UK) »
Thomas Hope died 13 Jan 1913 in Port Perry, Ontario, Canada at the age of 87. Can anyone find a copy of his obituary that was written in the THE ONTARIO OBSERVER, PORT PERRY STANDARD, or THE PORT PERRY STAR?

I have access at the Uxbridge library so will check the next time I get there; hopefully, in the near future.

Will do. In the meantime, from the Port Perry Library site, I know an obit exists:


Hope Thomas Jan 31, 1913 Death 86yrs. P.P.S. Feb 5, 1913
Hope Thomas Jan 31, 1913 Death 86yrs., 8m. N.O.O. Feb 6, 1913

I have the obit from the paper.  It's rather long, so if you send me a message, I'll email it to you.  Also, in honour of Remembrance Day, Uxbridge has hung banners on main street with photos of local men who served in WWI or WWII. One is for a Roger "Keith" Hope.  If he is one of yours, I can stop and get a picture and forward it as well.
