Death

18 November 1929

Burin, Newfoundland, Canada; Fanny and her daughter, Dorothy, were washed out to sea when the 1929 Tidal Wave hit Burin.

From The History of Burin: "Kelly's Cove was a small fishing hamlet near Foot's Cove...In 1929, the Cove contained seven families...The fishing season had just finished for the year and four of the seven men decided, as was their custom, to go to Paradise Sound to cut firewood for the winter. So they left the Cove about five o'clock, on the 18th, and had no knowledge of what had transpired until they returned a week later...Then about 8 o'clock a large wave occasioned by a fault, extending East from the Gulf of St. Lawrence roared landwards, swept along the Cove carrying houses situared near the sea, stores, fences, flakes and boats hauled up for the winter. It simply devoured everything in its path. The roaring of the wave occasioned concern among the inhabitants, and especially in the home of Vincent Kelly, whose house was situated near the sea. The four children were in bed, and the mother was downstairs doing her usual chores. Hearing the noise she rushed upstairs, awakened the chidren, and in their night-attire they scrambled over the fence to higher ground. The mother, however, went back to the house for her little girl's shoes, and she was taken out to see and never seen again..."

Although this passage does not mention the child Dorothy, the death registrations show that she lost her life also.
The death registrations state: Died on November 18, 1929 at Kelley's Cove, Fanny Kelly, aged 43, born Pardy's Island, Roman Catholic, due to drowning by Tidal Wave, body never returned. Dorothy Kelly, aged 10, born Pardy's Island, died at Kelley's Cove (same date and cause of death), Roman Catholic, body never returned.

Another source states that Fanny was carrying her daughter when they were washed out to sea.; Witness=Vincent Joseph Kelly, Witness=Frances Elizabeth Mitchell^4,5,6
