Here is a small portion of Clarence Wease’s background, from records for relatives found in Lasswade Christian Cemetery. Begins with oldest person found:

Clarence Milton Wease Jan 20, 1907 – Nov 1, 1977 St Andrew’s United Cemetery. M Hilda Neil Aug 22, 1934 (she Oct 2, 1915 – Feb 21, 2000, age 85) St Andrew’s United Cemetery. Sadly Clarence died of a heart attack while driving to Peterborough, and drove off the highway over an embankment. I always think of him when I pass by that corner of Highway 28. No history of Hilda Neil is known by me, although I remember her vaguely at the family farm in Chandos.
