Mystery Solved - CASE CLOSED!

Well, I was doing a search today and accidentally found the answer to my biggest mystery--the death of Walter Frederick Buttery! He died in 1916 of tuberculosis. Maybe this is why there doesn't seem to be a grave.

I happened to find the info on a site I spent countless hours on: Newfoundland Grand Bay. The page was added late 2011...which was probably after I had exhausted my search of this website.

Whewww. Aren't you relieved?! HA This goes to show you have to revisit your sources because new stuff is always going up. RIP, grand uncle Walter.
