Hello, I am wondering if you have any information on Eleanor Lorraine (Zacharias) Brant wife of Orville Brant who was murdered on the Tyendinaga Reserve sometime after 1963. I am help her daughter with family history research. Thanks…
January 8, 2015 at 11:58 am
Hello Elaine
Unfortunately we don’t hold any newspapers for the period 1963-1968, which would probably the best place to look for information on this story. Have you contacted the Kanhiote Library to see if they can help with more details as to the exact date? For other local newspapers, the Belleville Public Library hold the Intelligencer on microfilm, while the Lennox and Addington Museum and Archives has copies of the Napanee newspapers for that period. These might be a good place to look for more information once you know the date of the murder.

I want to thank you for the work that is going into compiling these files. I am working on my Brooks/Johnson family tree and I have found a couple of Obituaries I have not had until I located your site. I am still looking for one for my 3x Gr. Grandfather Dorus Brooks (wife was Jane Vandewater). If you ever find it please let me know.
Thank you so much for all that you do and I hope you continue with the efforts.
February 22, 2015 at 8:05 am
Thanks Terri – we will keep an eye out for Dorus Brooks!

Dito for me Amanda :)
Dorus is my 3x great grandfather as well. I’ve also seen him referred to as Dores and Darius if that helps.
September 6, 2015 at 9:42 am
Hi all, me too. Dorus is my 3x Great Grandfather. I’ll join the search
March 4, 2015 at 2:49 pm
As always Amanda, superb work you’ve done.
Thought I should let you know June 6, 1973 entry should be under the surname GREEN and not Franklin.
Many thanks for this information you’ve posted.
Mavis
March 4, 2015 at 5:24 pm
Thanks Mavis! I will check the newspaper next week and see what’s happened there. Possibly a mis-transcription, or maybe it was wrong in the paper.
March 11, 2015 at 12:41 pm
It was a transcription error – now corrected. Thanks again!
March 12, 2015 at 9:32 pm
Wow this brings back so many memories of the families that I knew growing up from 1950-1987 when my family(Jack and Verna Berry) were there. My mom and dad moved to Deseronto sometime in the late 30’s I think.
January 10, 2021 at 8:35 pm
Hi When I lived in Deseronto, from early 50’s to 1960, I remember Chapman’s restaurant…& a boy named Charles…any relation? Fun to find where/what residents have gone or done.

Does anybody remember Vic and Vivian Brant? They lived on the west side of Deseronto and were great friends. They held some wonderful parties and BBQs.

I have been looking for my Dad’s obituary for years now and have not been able to find it. I know he was born in September and passed on March 30, 1983. His name was David Wayne Wannamaker. Parents were, Delmer and Helena Wannamaker. I was hoping for anyones assistance if possible. Thank you, Jenni Wannamaker
July 23, 2015 at 7:58 am
Hello Jenni
The Quinte Scanner stopped being published in 1982, and since then Deseronto hasn’t had a local newspaper, so we don’t hold any obituaries for 1983. It’s possible that one was published in the Napanee Beaver or Napanee Guide – these are held at the Lennox and Addington Museum and Archives in Napanee, so that might be the best place to try: http://www.lennox-addington.on.ca/must-see/l-a-museum-archives.html.
August 18, 2015 at 9:19 am
I love the responses and gratitude, you do a great job. I am searching for information about my great grandparents they live in port loring for a long time. Simon Stevens and Lucy Annishabie, they had several children some names were Gladys Albert/alfread Flora who married Gordon south i belive my grandfather remarried and died on the Garden Village Reserve.
August 19, 2015 at 7:43 am
Hello Lisa
Port Loring is a little outside our area, but it might be worth contacting Parry Sound Public Library to see if they can help (pspl@vianet.ca). Your grandfather and Lucy do show up in voters’ lists on the Ancestry site in Port Loring between 1948 and 1968, but I’m afraid that’s all we can tell you.

I am trying to locate info about a Lily Gardiner Boyd retired (2003?) from Weston /Toronto
She taught for many years in 1960s/70s at Weston CI. when I was there as a teacher. I was informed…perhaps incorrectly… that she moved into your area .
Any assistance would be appreciated Thank you

Hello Elaine, with more details such as a date we could check local newspapers, but otherwise it would be hard to find anything.

Hello Carol
He has two obituaries in the Intelligencer and the one published on May 3, 1949 says that he was buried at All Saints Cemetery on the Mohawk Territory. Hope that helps!
