Shedid died in the sinking. His body was recovered by the MacKay Bennett (#9). His body was taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia and forwarded to Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania on 4 May 1912.

As some of you know I am trying to locate where Mr Daher's body may be in St. Mary's cemetary in Mt. Carmel Pa. I was wondering if someone can shed some light on Mr Daher also going by the same Docart Stitik or something like that? May he have been buried in that name instead of Daher?
