The people of Crandall were present in large numbers, at Crandall United Church, on July 18th, for the funeral of Mrs. E. Bolton, a lady who lived a very active life in Crandall, since the early days.

They settled in Crandall, where Mr. Bolton had been working, and before long took over the butcher shop, which they carried on until retirement, nearly a century later.

Surviving are her husband, E. Bolton, 258 - 11th St. Brandon, and a sister, and a brother in England. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Bowins, the pallbearers being J. Walker, C. Lyng, D.
