Thank you so much. Yes a typo. Year was 1894. How sad 2 of thine children died so young. Really appreciate your time in looking into this. Many thanks.

Just a correction - it is Carleton Place (not Charleton), lived there for 20 years.
Also, there is a village called Lanark within the county, you need to note that, if it is the town you are referring to.

The Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid shows his wife Elizabeth was buried in the Franktown Public Cemetery- Franktown is about ten miles from Carleton Place, on the way to Smiths Falls.  It’s a very small village, but is famous for the unfortunate death of the Duke of Richmond who was bit by his pet fox who had rabies.
No trace of a burial for Evelyn in Lanark County.

Charles Herbert Abbott was also buried in Franktown Public Cemetery.

Ancestry has a death for Evelyn Edwards Abbott in 1896 age 2, b. Carleton Place, she was a girl! Evelyn is rarely used for boys on this side of the pond.  Is this your Evelyn?  Unfortunately no parents given, but from the Ontario civil records.
Oops, sorry, see this was already posted.
