Funeral notices from the late 1800s...

Most of this this collection is housed at the Canton Pioneer School just north of Port Hope. Another group (as indicated) were donated to the Port Hope Archives and several others have been located in various sources as noted. I've scanned each notice and will be glad to forward ones of interest. (To put them on the site would take too much space, and my local server has been so patient so far!)
