Misc. Notes
William applied for a Homestead, 20-APR-1920, at Edmonton, Alberta. The land was described as NW Quarter, Section 10 (document appears to say zero), Township 58, Range 2W, 5th Meridian. [5060] This corresponds exactly to where they were living in 1921. [5059] It also matches (at least down to the section number) the location given for Willow Wilde Cemetery where he and his wife are buried. One description of the cemetery states “Established in 1908 on one acre of land set aside by Henry Newton after the death of his wife.” So Mr. Newton was possibly a neighbor of the Wintons. (http://geneofun.on.ca/cems/AB/ABBAR0488). The cemetery appears to be just over 11 miles southeast (as the crow flies) from the town of Barrhead.
