     He was born on 6 November 1879, possibly in Horton Twp. where his father farmed, at Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada, according to his Ontario Birth registration 027661.3,4 Alternatively, he may have been born in 1878 according to his gravemarker.5 William married Jannette McTavish on 17 March 1915 at Saskatchewan, Canada.1,2,4
     William Dougall McQuitty died on 14 April 1954, either at his home near Asquith, or in a local hospital, at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, at age 74. His two published obituaries differ on several details.5,6,4
     The following selected information is extracted from the obituary of William Dougall McQuitty.
     William Dougall McQuitty was buried on 17 April 1954 at Eagle Creek Cemetery, RM of Eagle Creek No. 376, Saskatchewan, Canada.5
     See the footnotes below for a link to his obituary that appeared in the newspaper the Star-Phoenix published in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 6 May 1954.6,4
     In the obituary of W. George McQuitty who died 16 December 2007, his parents, W. D. McQuitty and Nettie McQuitty were listed or implied as predeceased.7
     In the obituary of Grace B. McQuitty who died 11 November 2009, her parents-in-law, W. D. McQuitty and Nettie McQuitty were listed or implied as predeceased.8
     The following analysis is from my personal research and reflects my attempts to consolidate information from different sources.
The "Provincial Obituary" of 06 May 1954, may be more accurate than the one of 15 APr 1954. The age it reports is consistent with his Ontario birth registration. Thus, he may have died at his home, rather than in hospital as reported in the earlier obituayr.9
