This is the conclusion to a long standing mystery that has been slowly unraveling on my channel since, well, actually before I started this channel. I have covered the story of the wreck of the SS Atlantic in 1873 extensively. This is not a retelling of that.

Lauriston Davidson (Umphelby) and her daughter, Lillian, were lost in the sinking of the SS Atlantic in 1873. For the past 6 and a half years, I have been trying to track down the location of their grave, even having traveled across the continent to Telegraph City, California - their intended destination. We searched Lower Prospect, Camp Hill Cemetery in Halifax, and everywhere in between, following the story of the wreck and hunting down clues to see if we could find these lost graves.

Thank you to everyone involved in the search in the past few years and to everyone who has taken an interest in the story.
