On the same day that John and I went to Kilbride Presbyterian Cemetery on Thanksgiving weekend, we also went down the way to Kilbride Presbyterian Cemetery. A couple of stones caught my eye, in particular this large stone for a child. James Douglas Small died April 2, 1904 in East Flamborough (likely Carlisle) after suffering for 1 week with membranous laryngitis.(1) James was born Jan 19,1901 to George and Harriet Hamilton in Wentworth County.(2) George and Harriet were married in East Flamborough on 26 Nov 1890(3). According to the 1901 census, George was born 7 Jul 1857 and Harriet was born 27 Jan 1859. James had at least 4 older siblings. (4) I thought that maybe James's parents were perhaps buried in the plot but their names were not written on the stone. Upon further research, George died of the ripe old age of 85+ on 22 November 1942 in Carlisle and he was also buried there. (5) Hattie died just before him on 8 January 1942 and was also buried in Carlisle. (6)
