  1. Don and Hazel moved back to Aurora in 1938 when their son Donald Griffiths Galbraith (1927-1938) contracted cancer. Don jr died age 11. Hazel was widowed in 1963, her husband was buried in Aurora Cemetery. I don't have a death date for Hazel, but on the 1972 voters list for Aurora she is living at 15 Machell Ave.
