• Notes

  The death certificate said he was been despondent for those two months. In addition to the tragedy of losing his wife, he had also recently lost a brother in the sinking of the Llandovery Castle. A further blow came when he received word shortly after his wife's death that their home and belongings in Avonlea, Saskatchewan had been destroyed by fire. Acton Free Press (Acton, ON), 6 Mar 1919, p 1 and 6.
