Janet Flindal passed away tragically on November 1, 1947 at the age of 17. At a high school Halloween dance held at the Opera House/Town Hall , on the steps, her costume (which had cotton balls attached to it) accidentally caught fire from a lit candle.

Notes

Ralph and Eugenia Bangay founded and operated Memory Junction Museum at 60 Maplewood Avenue, Brighton, Ontario from 1995 to 2017. Ralph's love of history and astute eye for memorabilia, including artifacts, photos, deeds, and documents soon created a gathering place for Brighton history.
