Gwendoline Barton immigrated to Canada from England in June of 1898 at the age of 5 on a boat loaded with children. She was adopted by Murdock F. McLeod and Annie MacLeay, but died a year later in 1899.
IN MEMORIAM.
In loving memory of our adopted daughter Gwendoline Barton, who departed this life on July 1st, 1899, aged seven years.
An angel band in Heaven
That was not quite complete.
So God took our Gwendoline
To fill that vacant seat.
