John Kuzyk was born in Austria 27 May 1894, and died 13 December 1923 at Essondale, in Coquitlam. He spent the last 57 months of his life at Essondale. Immigrated to Canada in 1910. His home prior to Essondale, was in Clinton, B.C. When the First World War broke out he was interned in the Mara Lake Internment Camps, near Sicamous, and he was released from the camp in 1917, with conditions. Father was: Dan Kuzyk, and the death certificate states that he was married, but she has proven to be elusive to find. Sadly the records of the Internment camps were all destroyed by government order in 1954.
"My grandfather recalled that his aunt went to Alaska during the gold rush and died there, but until recently we did not know that she took her daughter, Naomi Lorimer, with her. Naomi was appointed a guardian in Juneau in 1906. The 1910 census shows she was paralyzed and could not speak. She was institutionalized around 1919, and died of pulmonary tuberculosis in 1928. We do not know why no one came to collect her after her mother died. Thank you for making a record of the exact location of her burial."

I have looked for my great grandfather John Arthur Garrett, who left his family when my grandfather was 8 years old and was never heard from again, for 30 years. I finally found information on him through the genealogy website, FamilySearch. I was so excited to find him after so long! As I reviewed his death certificate, I noticed it said he was buried at the Institutional Cemetery in New Westminster, BC. I googled it and came across an article about the cemetery being turned into a park and then a garden. It gave a link to your website. Thank you for the time and effort it took to put it together and to make available the much needed help to those of us seeking to find our ancestors. All of John's children died without ever knowing what became of their father. I'm grateful to know and to find a connection of family that was once lost. Thank you!
"General paralysis of the insane" refers to a manifestation of late stage syphilis. The discovery and widespread manufacture of penicillin provided an effective cure.
People from several groups, including patients from the Asylum for the Insane, were buried under what is now New Westminster Secondary School from approximately 1860 to 1920.
