LIEUT. QUANBURY DIES

Mrs. Quanbury was on Tuesday the recipient of a telegram from Ottawa informing her that her son, 
Lieut. John H. Quanbury, had succumbed to his wounds.

The father, Mr. Christopher Quanbury, is on the ocean, proceeding to England. We are sure the sympathy of the community is with Mrs. Quanbury in her distress.

The deceased young officer will be remembered by all who knew him as an especially bright and lovable youth.

THE LATE LIEUT. QUANBURY

This gallant young officer, whose death from wounds received in action was reported in our last issue, enlisted with the Third Contingent and went to England with the [30]th Battalion. Later he was drafted in the C. M. R.

He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Quanbury of Woodhouse, and attended Simcoe High School for a number of years from which he graduated in due course.

Leaving this community, he went west and became a charter pupil of the Calgary Normal School from which institution he obtained his teaching certificate.

His certificate in his possession, he at once commenced teaching, which vocation he followed until his enlistment.

He was wounded on July 25th by fragments of a shell which struck a tree near the trench he was in.

Although seriously injured, he was hopeful of recovery. 
But it was not to be. He was called upon to make the supreme sacrifice.

He died in the Empire Hospital, London, his father hurrying to his bedside, being then on the ocean. 

He was in the first year of his manhood, having come of age on the firing line. He deemed his surroundings a fitting celebration for a young soldier's twenty-first birthday.

He had the cause of Britain and the uplifting of humanity truly and intelligently at heart, and was spoken of by his superior officers as a brave soldier and a Christian citizen.

He was an earnest worker in the Anglican Church, to which communion he belonged.
