Thanks.  That has to be it.  福建省 was also on the stone next to it.

<p>This is on a gravestone in Toronto.  I suspect it is the name of a place, but I cannot identify the middle character.  I did a good job (in my opinion) of drawing it in the Chinese writing recognizer on an iPad but nothing resembling it came up.  I used a graphics program to convert the image to black on white, and an OCR that is usually pretty good left the space blank.</p>
<p>What is it?</p>

This is on a gravestone in Toronto. I suspect it is the name of a place, but I cannot identify the middle character.

What is it?
