Register of Deaths and Funerals, 1941-1996
The following table of information has been transcribed from the government-required events register by Myrna Belyea, volunteer with the MHSA. As the term “transcription” implies, the information is portrayed in the form it was found in the church register, that is, on an event-by-event basis. Such registers are used to document the information that a church needs to provide to the vital statistics department of the provincial government. This is why they do not appear in the family group format often employed by Mennonite churches.
