     Ralph Bezanson was born in January 1882 at Canada.1,2 He was a boat builder in 1900.2 He married Emma (?).1 Ralph Bezanson died on 13 August 1902 at age 20. Ralph Bezanson drowned when his twenty-two-foot sailboat capsized in a squall.3 He was reported missing, and items from the boat were found in the area where it capsized. I have not found a death certificate or death register entry, but he appeared in the 1901 City Directory with his brothers, and he was not included in the 1903 edition, so I have presumed that he did not survive the incident.4,5
