Cornelius  'Cyrille' PetersThe Charlottetown Guardian (PEI), 29 June 1929:  The death occurred at Bear River North, Saturday, June 22, of Cornelius Peters in the 21st year of his age.  The deceased, who was familiarly known as 'Corill' was employed on the railroad and enjoyed good health till about two weeks ago when he contracted throat trouble, which proved fatal and medical skill and loving care could not stay the grim hand of death.  He leaves to mourn, his mother, Mrs. Joseph Peters, one sister, Celia and two brothers, Reginald and Leonard, all of Bear River.  Funeral took place from his late residence to St. Charles, on Monday.  To the bereaved we extend sincere sympathy.
