In Memory Of Mark McGarvey Died Sep. 23, 1911 Age 37 Yrs. At Rest1 |
Mark McGarvey has a story for "Mathew [sic] was killed in Shellbrook crossing the railway with team and sleigh."2 And I would love to read more, especially a newspaper report, but of course 1911 is the year before the town of Shellbrook's newspaper was established in 1912!
