David Snedden 1957 Toronto death

Is it possible to find the date of David's death? I can only find the year 1957. He is buried in Park Lawn Cemetery.

Obituary for David Renton Sneddon (Globe and Mail on July 8th and July 9th) says he died on July 7th 1957.   But the obit says he is buried in Pine Hills Cemetery  ???

Is this your man?  Husband of the late Mary Markle.  Address 240 Lee Avenue.  Father of Ella, Mrs George Cunningham, Bunt, Betty and Mrs Herb Mutch??

Obituary for David Sneddon (no middle name) in the Toronto Star 19 March 1957, page 27.  This David Sneddon died on 18 March 1857.  He is buried in Park Lawn cemetery.   

This is probably your David.  Address 45 Wright Avenue.  Husband of Margaret Stewart.  Father of Mrs E Hurst (Helen), Mrs Annie Topping, Miss Margaret Sneddon, Mrs Albert De Guerre (Ina), Thomas Minto and David Sneddon.

The second David is my guy. His daughter Annie Miller Sneddon married Lorne Topping.

Thanks. Much appreciated

While on the Sneddon family I have never been able  to trace Annie Miller Sneddon Topping who was born in 1913. Her husband Lorne died in 1986 and is buried with different wife in St Ann's Cemetery, Merrickville. I have talked to Merrickville and Annie is not buried there.
I found sister Ina DeGuerre obit but it does not mention siblings. Is there an obit for David Seddon (1919-1984) which may mention sister Annie? He is buried with his parents.

Lorne Topping (dairyman) appears on his own Canada Voters List - at 119 Chisholm Avenue York East Ontario - 1965  - there was a Florence McLaren at that same address - which is probably the wife he was buried with

At some point Lorne married Florziel McLarren who had previously been married(1917) to Charles/Elwell Emmons

Margaret Sneddon's obit from 1960 mentions daughter Annie Topping.  She is still alive then.

Looks like Annie went missing - at least as far as her husband was concerned.  There is a notice in the Toronto Star on Dec 21 1966...
