Notes / Questions
1.  Indicates she lived on the 'Sixth line, Plympton township in Lambton County, Ontario' --  Could this be the McNelly family farm?
2.  Buried in the McNelly family plot in Maple Leaf Cemetery, Chatham.
3.  Gives address where she died - in Lambton County (not Kent County)
4. Gives address of former house in Chatham
5. Indicates that her sister - Franklyn J. Miller lives in Cleveland in 1935 - and is still living.  Found out later that Ethel died in 1935 and is buried in same cemetery   we have photo This is family who took in Georgina (or at least acted as trustee for inheritance in about 1920.
 
To Dos
1. Look up actual death information on Anna
2.  Track down Ethel and Franklyn Miller in Cleveland - during at least 1928 to 1936 - perhaps Cleveland City directories.
3.  May be interested to get photos of the various addresses noted in the obit.
