IN MEMORY OF
MARGARET MUNRO
1861-1969


Despite the age suggested by the monumental inscription and the Beechwood Cemetery burial registers, the census material for 1871 (Morrisburg), 1901 and 1911 (Ottawa) record Margaret's birth in October 1867, not 1861. In October 1867, Canada was only a few months old.

Margaret passed away in Ottawa, 11 February 1969. Two days later, FLQ separatist terrorists bombed the Montreal Stock Exchange.
