Joan,

Your great grandmother was registered in Manitoba Vital Statistics Death
Index as Katrina Bannman and she died 09/June/1915  at age 83.   *REGISTRATION
NUMBER: *1915-180347    vitalstats.gov.mb.ca

Sadly the database gives no other information other than it was registered
in the Rural Municipality of Rhineland.  You can order the certificate and
hope it gives more information.

Could this be her?  Sadly, sometimes the indexing has many spelling issues.

The 1911 census has a couple of Katrina or Katharina Bannmans, but they are
much younger.  Perhaps the 83 is a typo?


But there IS a Katie Bannman aged 79 living with son Peter Bannman  which
seems more likely

A website I found is for cemeteries around the Plum Coulee area
http://roadsidethoughts.com/mb/plum-coulee-cemeteries.htm

At least there is a map for each of the cemeteries and you could possibly
contact the nearest town or possibly church in her faith.

The Manitoba Genealogy Society has transcribed many cemeteries - see their
pricelist for RM Rhineland cemeteries  http://www.mbgenealogy.com/
Or you could send them a query if your family name is listed in one of the
transcriptions.


Good luck,

Helen Gillespie

I am also looking for a cemetery in Manitoba.  I was wondering if there is
anyone who would know of a cemetery just a mile west of Plum Coulee situated
in a farmer's field - a farm cemetery.  My great great grandmother,
Katherine Banman (Suderman) was buried there in 1915.  I am told there are
others buried there as well.  I hope to go there this year but I have no
idea how to get there.  Would appreciate any help.
