Notes |
- Albert Turner drowned with his brother Harold in the Rideau Canal.
In 1912, Louis and Laura were living with 5 year old Harold and 2 year old Albert at 59 Waverley Street, about one block from the Rideau Canal. On November 30th the boys strayed from home, fell through the ice and drowned. Albert's body was recovered that afternoon. It was front page news for a week while the search continued for young Haroldís body. In the meantime Albertís funeral was held. Extensive recovery efforts continued. The water level in the Canal was lowered and the ice broken up, but the body was not located. As time slipped by, rumours were that Harold had not drowned but had been kidnapped. These were put to rest in the following April, when the body was discovered about two blocks from the site of the drowning. Haroldís funeral was held on April 11, 2013. Both are buried in Notre Dame Cemetery.
