Hello,
I have a copy of the obituary for Mary Bremner from the March 9, 1949 edition of the KW record. It states that she died the previous night at her residence. I have no other details about how she died. None of her children are still living. My Grandfather Elmer Radtke passed away in 2003 and he survived all of his siblings. Since Mary Bremner passed away prior to my father being born, no one in his family is still living that would have any information about her.
If you would like a copy of her obituary I can scan it and send you a copy. I also have copies of her parent's obituaries if you would like. Just send me your email address.
As for her brother Fred. I do not know his date of death but I do know that according to Gustena Pavolofski's obituary from 1956 that he was still living at that time in Kitchener. I also did a search on the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid website and found that there is a Fred J Bremner buried at Woodland Cemetery in Kitchener. The staff at the Kitchener Cemetery office could help you out with the date of death. If you find out could you please let me know and I can update my records.
I would like more information about Mary Bremner's mother's family. There are many different spellings of her mother's name and her name that I have from her headstone has her name as Gustena Povlofski.
You have the last name spelled differently. Is that the correct spelling?
My email address is
robertaschas@sympatico.ca if you have any information about the Povlofski/Pavolofski family.
Let me know if there is any other information you would like help with.
Thanks!
