  Notes	The cemetery Records for St. John's Anglican Cemetery, Halifax, show that an Olive MORTON, infant, is buried in the family plot of Arthur Stanley and Florence Jane MORTON. Roger MASON states that this marker has a single date on it--1922. Since daughter Olive Marguerite was b. 1898, this cannot be a case of a name being re-used when an older sibling died. So, it seems likely that she is a granddaughter.
