BIRTH 12 OCT 1915 • Mont Carmel, Prince Edward Island, Canada

DEATH 17 NOV 2000 • Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada

My Great Uncle Edward, nicknamed Wart Gabe, appears on the 1921 census.

He also appears at Mamie’s 1964 funeral, on the steps of St. Paul’s in Summerside, along side his wife, Mildred Perry.

Of his military service, one Summerside 1981 newspaper featured all of the brothers and said this about Edward’s service.

This later photo was collected from Henry Brenton’s (Millie’s husband) research.  Edward appears to have been employed by the Armouries in Ontario for some time and so this leads me on another tangent during my research.  I find Mildred and Edward living in Hamilton east in 1949 on the Voter’s Lists.  10 William Street is somewhere near the grey house that you see across the street.

Edward’s wife, Mildred Perry’s obituary appeared in the newspaper in January of 2013, although I can find little else on Edward.
