X00310 Norah Eleanor Hewett Knox date of death - solved!

I have posted previously about finding death dates for the Hewett sisters, Annie F., Olive and Clara. I still haven't found anything for them, beyond 1965, where I found the three of them in a 1965 voters list.

But I have managed to find their sister Norah's date of death. It seems that someone has recently added her gravestone to find a grave. The stone gives a date of death of 9 April 1957, which means that I'll need to wait a few years before the Archives of Ontario releases the death information.


But it's another X-File solved!

The search for three sisters

Charles Edwin Hewett and Emily Jane Williams had six daughters and one son. Four of the daughters have presented problems as far as finding out what happened to them:
  • Annie Frances Hewett [X00309], third daughter, born 10 March 1872
  • Clara Augusta Hewett [X00311], fifth daughter, born 5 August 1876
  • Olive Jane Hewett [X00312], sixth daughter, born 20 December 1880.
I have posted about Annie Frances Hewett previously.

I have also had difficulties tracking down what happened to their fourth daughter, Norah Eleanor Hewett, but I will save that X-file for another time.

Clara became a school teacher in Orillia and Olive because a nurse.

I have found the three of them living together in Orillia in 1965 from a voters list:


So, they were all three still alive in 1965 and apparently unmarried. But nothing after that. I haven't found any cemetery listings for any of them, nor have I found any death notices in the Simcoe newspapers online. But the search continues...
