Arther Harold Canavan was my father.. HIs brother was andrew Jackson Canavan and Walter
was a half brother Thier father was William David Canavan and the mother wasGertrude DEO
Canavan. Williams fathe was Andrew Jackson Canavan and mother was Susan( I think)! In
reality you all have it wrong since William was illegally adopted be Andrew J when he was
left in the middle of the town when he was about 6. His real father was named Gracen and
was a drunk who never was charged since it was a commen thing for people to take in
orphans back then. Andrew gave him the Canavan name so that he could go to school etc.
William worked on the railroad for years and died in the 1950's from a stroke. I know
cause I was 10 years old and went to his funeral held in Moravia. Gertrude lived for many
years after that dieing in the 70's. Andrew died in the 80's and Arthur died a
few years later. Andrew died of amssive heart attack and Arthur know as Harold died of a
stroke. Gertrude also!
died of a stroke. I have looked at a lot of your post and most are not correct. Jenn
Your grandfather had 6 kids that lived and a set of twins that were still born that were
named Dean and Dawn.
