Island story

Violet May Patterson is commemorated at R4-015 with Charles D. Patterson and Agnes MacCallum Patterson. Her death registration uses Violet Mae, reports her birth on Pictou Island on 11 April 1936, and records her death there on 25 October 1944, aged eight. It names Charles D. Patterson and Agnes MacCallum as her parents and records Island burial on 28 October 1944, without identifying an exact cemetery plot. Those literal parent names are preserved as evidence. Their relationship to the older Charles and Agnes remains a biological-generation question because of the chronology; no accepted parent link is supplied in the family graph.
