Three sons, Alvin, Winnipeg; Elmer, Shoal Lake; and Lyle, on the home farm, and one daughter, Mrs. Stan. Lelond, Arrow River. There are seven grandchildren.

The funeral service was conducted by Rev. J.M. Wilson in the United church on the Saturday following. Banked with flowers, the casket was laid to rest in the Crandall cemetery by T.A. Gray, S. Hanna, M. Little, J. Gunson, J. Riddell and H. Drake.
