• Notes

  Impressive Funeral Warwick I. Linton The funeral of Warwick Irving Linton, whose death occurred at Banff on Sunday at Brett Sanitarium following an operation for appendicitis, was held from Shaver's funeral chapel, Calgary, at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. An impressive service was conducted by Rev. J.T. Ferguson assisted by Rev. George Dickson, a beautiful solemnity being added by the singing of "The Christ's Goodnight" by David Morgan, softly accompanied by the organ. The chapel was filled with friends of the deceased, including many from Banff and Parkland, and former comrades in the 8th Field Ambulance. The pall bearers were: J.G. Wilson, W.G. Hawk, P.M. Patterson, Dr. Ivan Dickson, F. Parker and W.C. Magee. The remains were laid to rest in the Burnsland cemetery, Calgary. Mr. Linton was born in Galt, Ontario, in 1888. In 1904 he came with his mother, sisters and brothers to Parkland, Alta. After working on the farm for some years, he entered Dr. Dixon's drug store at Stavely as an apprentice in pharmacy. His apprenticeship was interrupted by his enlistment with the 8th Field Ambulance, which body he went overseas and served uninterruptedly till the close of the war. On his return he completed his apprenticeship in the dispensary of the Colonel Belcher hospital in Calgary, attended the University of Alberta, and obtained his licentiate in parmacy in 1921. Immediately after he accepted a position with the Banff Pharmacy, a post he held until his death. In November, 1921, he married Miss Chaddy Thomson, R.N., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George B. Thomson, the culmination of a childhood romance, the two families having been neighbors in Galt and Parkland. He leaves to mourn his untimely death a wife and baby daughter, Charlotte; his mother Mrs. Ebea Linton; a sister, Mrs. P.M. Patterson of Champion; a brother, Hume, of Southbank, B.C. Another brother, Douglas, was killed in action in 1917. The beautiful floral offerings, a mute testimony of the love and esteem with which he was regarded included wreaths from the family, relatives and scores of friends, from the Brett Sanitarium staff, the Banff Lodge No. 53, B.P.O.E., the Presbyterian Ladies' Aid of Parkland, comrades of the 8th Field Ambulance and the Banff Branch of G.W.V.A. The Crag & Canyon, Banff, Alberta, November 8, 1924:
