Now wondering about the burial, as your newspaper finds refer to Boston.  Also I've found that the death details incl a note of the Boston burial (in Massachustets death records).  I must have seen the reference to Canada from a family tree record and not checked it properly. Tut tut!  But I was focussing on the Jennie/Jane member of the family.

ADD: If someone could only see the newspaper transcript, or skimmed the original, they might just have seen the ref to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Most of the wills I've seen from those times and earlier have been written on people's deathbeds, it would seem.
