"They were married June 16, 1875, at her home in Drumbo. They lived in Ottawa, Ontario, for the first few months they were married, and that is where their first son Henry A. McCharles (likely named after his grandfather Muma) was born, August 30, 1876 (the next picture). They moved shortly afterward to Toronto, and were there, at 315 Spadina Avenue, when Emily Anne died, March 23, 1878, during childbirth. The infant son also died, and they were buried together. The tall tombstone is located in Toronto's Mount Pleasant Cemetery, but Emily was apparently first interred in a small cemetery in Paris, Ontario, which is west of Toronto and not very far from Drumbo. After Aeneas had chosen and could afford the more prestigious plot at Mount Pleasant, Emily Anne was moved there on December 1, 1879.
Aeneas, born October 17, 1844, died August 5, 1906, and was buried beside Emily Anne. Henry died about (that's a long story) November 1, 1924. He had never married, and was also buried in Mount Pleasant, with his parents and infant brother.
I can't say they were wrong to record that she had died in Drumbo, because it would not have been unusual, would it, for a young mother-to-be to spend her later confinement at home with her mother? The obituary in Toronto's Daily Globe, March 25, 1878, implied that her death was "at" 315 Spadina, but that may have been because that was their address.
Henry never married, and died about November 1, 1924. He too was buried in the same plot.
Aeneas never got over losing Emily, and never re-married. His autobiography was published posthumously, as arranged by a longtime friend, James Hammond. Although I have no idea how they acquired it, the University of California Libraries apparently have an original copy of Bemocked of Destiny at their Northern Regional Library Facility, which is at Richmond, CA . . . not too far from you, is it? I know nothing about how one would access the book there, but it would be listed as:
Bemocked of Destiny, by Aeneas McCharles, published 1908 by William Briggs, Toronto."
