Hi,



We will need a bit more information to help you in your search. You don't say when Rev. Poston was living, he was from Ontario was he living there? Did he die in Canada? Give us as much info. as you know, that way someone may be able to help you track him down.

Hi Slizzy,

Rev. Poston was probably born in the late 1800's as his wife was born in 1886 in Hastings County, Ontario. She died in 1945 according to her tombstone at the Anglican cemetery in Tamworth. It said she was the wife of Rev. J.A. Poston. I found this on the cemetery fiche at the Mormon Church history room. His name wasn't on the same stone, but on the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid web site I found a Rev. J.A. Poston listed at that cemetery and also one at Trenton. I'll have to go back to the history room to see if they are one and the same. The whole Stinson family there seems to have just been born and died, nothing in between! It's really weird!
