David Simeon Ostrom (1840 - bef 1952)
David Simeon Ostrom born October 20, 1840. I have proof of his baptism with his birthdate and baptism. He was baptised January 16, 1844, in Vol. 1 pg. 568, in the District of Victoria, Township of Sidney to Simeon and Lucinda Ostrom. The baptism was performed by Rev W McCullough. He does not appear in the 1852 census or anytime later which would suggest he died before 1852. As with the other children he was born in Sidney Township. Below is a copy of the document where David, his brother George Maxwell and Helen Lucinda appear. I have found no other mention of David Simeon.
