Douglas Anderson s/o Charles and Sarah died in the Anderson Foundry Explosion in London, Ontario on Feb 16, 1856. The newspaper article states he left behind a wife, that the funeral would be from his house on Fullarton Street and would be at the Wesleyan Methodist burial ground. That cemetery was moved to Mount Pleasant and his stone just gives his name and date of death.
