Notes for Catherine STALKER
Death date from photo of gravestone, Simpson Cemetery, 21563 Pratt Siding Road, Mosa Township, Middlesex County, Ontario. (https://cemetery.canadagenweb.org)
[Perhaps her maiden name was Campbell as stated on her husbands death certificate. Their headstone gives her last name as Stalker. Perhaps she remarried after Thomas’ death to someone names Stalker.]
