Other Events:

• Name: Elizabeth Sararas
• Eby ID Number: 00145-5509.1

Notes:

Elizabeth died August 1885 on Concession XI Lot 32 Minto Twp, Wellington County, Ontario. This address is located along the border of Minto Twp in Wellington and Howick Twp in Huron. Her daughter Esther (Hettie) Sararas Stubbins lived a very short distance over the county border in Howick Twp, Huron County, Ontario. The Stubbins postal address was Harriston, Minto Twp, Wellington County. As the record for Elizabeth's death does not state burial place I have taken a leap of faith in selecting a near by cemetery. It's not likely there will be concrete information on her burial place. If anyone does comes across this information please let me know.
Shortly after Elizabeth's death her widowed husband Jacob Sararas travelled to Manitoba, probably with the Stubbins family as his son Wendel and grandsons had gone to Manitoba earlier in the 1880s.
