Treasure Chest Thursday: Will of Dennis O’Connell

ByTerri April 22, 2010July 10, 2014

On this Treasure Chest Thursday, I bring you another document of my great-grandfather, Dennis O’Connell.

Niagara Falls, Ont. June 1st, 1950

To whom it may concern,

It is my earnest wishes that all that I posses is equally divided upon my death to my two sons and daughter
Ambrose O’Connell
Linus O’Connell
Theresa O’Connell

signed this 1st day of June 1950

Dennis O’Connell

It makes we wonder if he was sick, Dennis died in Nov of 1950. At this point I still do not have his death certificate, but I hope to order it within the near future to find out.

It is 1950, not 1959, right? 😉
Not very long ago at, for some of us! 😉
