Death of Hugh Peacock - Brandon, 1920

Several months ago, I sent for the death certificate for
Hugh Peacock. He is believed to be the younger brother or
nephew of Thomas Peacock of Macaulay Township, Muskoka,
Ontario who died in 1895. I found Hugh's date of death
on a Brandon cemetery website. I was hoping to find a
city of birth, but no luck.

Here are the details from two documents:
