One
of the sad deaths resulting from the prevalent influenza is that
of Eric Carter, well known to many Simconians.
He and his wife and three
children were all sufferers, and Friday evening, a few hours after
the hospital
was opened, they were taken there.
The inroads of the disease
were such, however, that recovery was impossible, and on Sunday
morning he breathed his last.
The funeral took place on
Tuesday afternoon to Oakwood Cemetery.
Other members of his
family were also sufferers from the disease. Mrs. Carter is still
ill at the hospital, but the children are making good recoveries.
The late Mr. Carter was
employed by the Doninion Gas Co., and at one time had been on a
transfer wagon.
His parents live in
Woodhouse, a mile out of town.
