Notes - Location of Death - Story
Reported at http://themerrittfamilygenealogyline.weebly.com by Rev. Peter L. Merritt (originally) and Karyn Hannigan that Harry passed at St. Stephen's Hospital, potentially in New Brunswick, Canada. In 1913, the hospital in St. Stephen New Brunswick was the Chipman Hill Memorial Hospital which existed until 1950 (https://search.canbarchives.ca/chipman-hill-memorial-hospital).
However, neither Maine nor New Brunswick archives have a death certificate. Citation for date and location of death as particularized at Find a Grave.
