I will contact the library and see if they provide Ask a Librarian service.  Had to look up Billings Bridge. Now part of Ottawa

Thanks

Still had no luck unmasking those obits, perhaps someone else will turn them up.  Let us know if you have success.

That's good news Ed.

I believe this is the father of Mrs Ralph Smith (Marjorie) and Mrs Fred Jepson (Dorothy)
