Photo shows Terry's father Louis Schipper cleaning Daisy Lapham's neglected headstone
Thank you for helping me find a little history on this 29 year old girl. Daisy died October 30th 1918. Her burial place is Goudreau Ontario. She died of the Spanish Flu. I have pictures of the tombstone if you are interested. Her tombstone reads:
Sacred
To the Memory of
Daisy
Beloved Daughter of
Mr & Mrs Joseph Lapham
of Sarnia, ONT.
Who passed away October 30th 1918
Aged 29 years.
Gone from us but not forgotten
Never shall thy memory fade
Loving thoughts shall ever linger
Around the spot where thou art laid
Terry Baker sent the inscription details in her email
Thank you Terry for your contribution to the site
