Thank You For Your Work
I have just discovered (yesterday) that my great-aunt, Elizabeth Dargie Rankin, was a resident at Essondale in the 1930s, and was buried in the Woodlands Cemetery on September 21, 1939. She and her husband, my great-uncle, Fred Rankin, came to Canada from Scotland in 1919. They were witnesses at my grandfather's wedding in Drumheller in 1923, and after that, the trail went cold. I don't believe that they had any children. My great-uncle Fred died a few years later in Prince George, which coincidentally is where I live. We had no idea that a relative was buried here. Thank you very much for all of your work in honouring the people who are buried at Woodlands. If there is anything that I could contribute to your work, I would be more than pleased to do so. Thank you again and I look forward to visiting where my great-aunt is buried.
