Notes - On 7 Mar 1960, a woman named Mary FRALICK dies at Halifax and is bur. St. Peter's Anglican, Hackett's Cove. Her death record says that her father's surname was ACKRON, but there are no ACKRON's in NS [at least in NSHVS] and, more importantly, her DOB on that record matches the DOB of Mary ATKINS in 1901 Census to the day. The given name of her husband on her death record is difficult to read, but could be read as Gordon. And finally, a proven daughter's obit gives her maiden name as ATKINS. So my conclusion is that ACKRON seems to be almost certainly a mistake, and the person who dies on 7 May 1960 is the wife of Gordon FRALICK.
But when Gordon FRALICK dies in 1980, his obit says that he is survived by his wife, Mary KNAPP, and we now know that Mary ATKINS was named Mary KNAPP when she married him. So either he married two Mary KNAPPs in succession, or his obit is incorrect and she predeceased him. I think the latter is true.
