Other Events:

• Name: Charlotte Ann McGiverin
• Eby ID Number: Waterloo-62101
• Residence: 1874, Hamilton, Wentworth Co., Ontario, Canada
• Residence: 1906, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Notes:

Charlotte Louise Bennetto, wife of Thomas McGiverin, was the daughter of Israel Bennetto and Philadephia Hooper Bennetto of Lambeth, London, England, and later of Hamilton, Ontario.

Charlotte Louise was born in the Lambeth Registration District on 10 August 1847, and came to Hamilton in Canada West with her parents and siblings as a young child. Her father, Israel Bennetto, died at Hamilton on 31 Aug 1859 -- Charlotte was just barely 12 years old.

Charlotte's younger sister, Susan Elizabeth Bennetto, eventually became a school teacher, and served the Hamilton School Board for over 52 years. She was the first woman Principal in the City of Hamilton -- quite an achievement for the times -- and which is why I became interested in tracing this family.

A VERY SUDDEN DEATH

Miss Nellie McGiverin Dies after a Few Hours Illness - A Bright Young Life Cut Off

The sadden death of Miss Helen Frances McGiverin, daughter of Mr. Thomas McGiverin of this town, which occured on Saturday will be generally lamented. Such an event always produces sorrow, but when one whose life is before her and who is so precious to others, the blow is almost harder than can be borne. These are the circumstances which render Miss McGiverin's demise so sad. The young Lady who was in her 19th year, was a lovable girl, she had many friends and to know her was to like her. She was afflicted with heart trouble, from about her seventh year and this was the cause of her death. The deceased appeared to be in her usual health yesterday. She attended the revival meeting in the Methodist church last evening and when she retired to rest she seemed as well as ever. An hour or so later she was taken with a spasm and when the doctor, who had been summoned, arrived, she was unconscious. She passed away while in that state.
