Sarah Tower is my husband's (great great grandmother ) she died on April 26, 1926 in Burnaby, B.C. which is probably why you cannot find her grave in Manitoba. My huband's grandmother was Annie Tower Adair who was born in Swan Lake, Manitoba in 1904.
Tower-3969 and Tower-2649 appear to represent the same person because: Both married to Samuel Adair and are the parents of George Adair.
