Obituary for Antonio Shanto

This is the obit from the Fort William paper for Antonio Shanto. There are some interesting clues here. He died 23 March 1941. The obit says he was in Fort William 54 years, coming when he was 11 years old. That means he arrived in Fort William in 1887. It says he was 65, making him born in 1876. Of course these dates don't match other sources, but they are close. His baptism record has him born in 1877 and several years are given as his arrival into Canada on the census records. I suppose he could have lived in other places in Canada before arriving in Fort William.

A sister in Italy is mentioned. That would have been his older sister Rosaria. No mention is made of his sister Concetta who lived in Port Arthur, so I assume she died before him. The cousin mentioned is Frances Fasano, the daughter of Raffaele Fasano, his mother's brother. No mention is made of other relatives except his immediate children and grandchildren.
