Upon his return from overseas last November, owing to having been badly gassed, he proceeded to Qu’Appelle for treatment, where on May 22 he met with the fatal accident while canoeing.
His mother died while he was in France. He leaves an only sister, Mrs. A. Lowther, 1305 Thirteenth avenue west, who, with her husband, leaves today to take the body to Ontario for burial.
Before going overseas deceased was a druggist in High River, also Hanna, where many friends will mourn his loss.
