I received an email today with a photograph of the headstone for Frederick Dixon Foreman and Anna Hegna.
The York Cemetery staff assisted me in breaking through a genealogical "brick wall" by locating Frederick's burial place and his date of death.
From the cemetery information, I was able to locate Frederick's obituary in the Toronto Star. It is interesting how if refers to his wife "Hannah" when the headstone reads "Anna". Throughout my research, I have found both spellings for her.
Obituaries are helpful to locate other relatives as well. In this example we learn more about Frederick's children Lola, Geraldine, Donald, Shirley and Patricia.
