Died En route to England

On Saturday, 19 Oct 1918, Mr. & Mrs. Barney Olmstead of LaSalette received word that their son, Hugh I. Olmstead, aged 23 years, died en route to England of bronchial pneumonia.

Deceased had lived in Regina three years prior to his enlistment with the Engineer Corp at Winnipeg, and was stationed for some time in the East at Bellville [sic].

The young man was very popular among his many friends at LaSalette, and they all regret very much at receiving the sad news of the death of such a sterling young man who possessed a most noble character, who had launched out to such a successful career so young in life. His parents have the sympathy of the community.
