Ontario Deaths 1869-1947

Edna Van Wyck Laughton who was born April 22, 1894, succumbing early in her life to the tragic death of scarlet fever on April 24, 1894 (2 days old), which agrees with the tombstone (1894-1894).

The funeral notice disagrees with that information for although it says that Edna died on April 24, 1894, it also says "Aged 2 Years", and not aged only 2 days.

As of this date we do not have confirmation as to which facts are correct. Did they make a mistake on the tombstone or on the funeral notice?

Uncle Paul's revised family tree (the photographed version) now indicates that Edna was born in 1892 and so she was 2 years old at the time of her death. It is not known if that new information was based on this photograph and assumed to be true?

The Ontario Death Registry for that period states that Edna died at the age of 3 days on April 27, 1894. As you will note from the image, the file had been "interpreted" incorrectly on the LDS Family Search web site as that of "Edna Sauwck Laughto". An error correction has been submitted.
