Sarah (Curren) Draper - Corkery Cemetery, Huntley, Ontario - Zinc Headstones on Waymarking.com

This cemetery is also known as St Michael's Roman Catholic Cemetery. There must be an interesting story behind this zinc memorial. All that survives in Corkery is a single piece, set flat on the ground, of a zinc monument. As early as 1979 when a survey was undertaken by members of the Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, this piece was already separate.

According to the register for the parish of Fitzroy Harbor, Sarah Curran married Reuben James Draper McKay on 11 August 1885. The spouse R J Draper has no monument elsewhere in this cemetery. Please contact me if you know what became of Reuben James Draper McKay.

According to the Ontario death registration (1889 #002257), Mrs R Draper, born in Huntley, died of consumption.
