Died:
The official Death Register of "Ontario, Canada, Deaths and Deaths Overseas, 1869-1946" at the Archives of Ontario; Toronto, Ontario, Canada says October 11th, so the mistake was made when the Grave Marker was made. John was born in Barnstaple, Devonshire and earned a Trade as a Stone Mason and Builder. With his wife Ellen and three children, they emigrated to the British Colony of Upper Canada in 1843. (the nation of Canada was established in 1867) They first settled in Brockville, then moved to North Burgess Township, in Lanark County, Ontario, where John built a Stone House on 250 acres of land. He built a number of houses in the nearby town of Perth. In 1871 he was employed as a Plasterer, and was always involved in farming. They attended St. Andrew's Church.
From his Obituary:
"He was a typical Englishman, bluff, honest and straightforward and was a good citizen wherever he dwelt. He was married to Margaret Ellen McCrea, a native of Scotland who died two years ago. Their children were: Richard who died in Manitoba a good number of years ago; William of North Elmsley; Mrs. Coffey of Perth; Mrs. Charles McDonald of Scotch Line; Mrs. Margaret Harper, deceased; Mrs. James Arthur of Smith's Falls; and Mrs. W.R. Paul of Perth. The funeral will leave the residence for Elmwood Cemetery at 2:00 today, Friday."
From John and Ellen come most of the present day Oatways of Canada, and some in the United States.
(John's family was the 2nd of four English Oatway family emigration's to Canada)
