was drafted to France, He haat been

ing fine.

his body being brought to the family
plot 11n Brussels cemetery .for inter-
ment. Oleve, came to live with his
uncle and aunt, S. anal Mrs. Carter,
the former being appointed his
guardian. He was a smart, kindly
natured youth, who had many
friends. Learning the barbering
business he opened a shop in Brussels
and did well. He was afterwatds
associated with his uncle, in imple-
ment and automobile business, He
took quite an interest in the Metho-
dist chhrch Sabbath School anti was
a member of the church choir and 1.t
general favorite with all who knew
him. His letters came regularly and

to return to his old home and friends
in Brnseels, His body now reposes
in sunny France but his memory
will be evergreen as one who did his
part faithfully and well and fell do-
ing his duty. The bereaved share in

LIEUT. WALTER FRANCIS SCOTT
Every family who has a relative
overseas is always on the alert .for
news front thein and the receipt of
letters is usually a source of gratifi-
cation, There's constantly a dread
however, as the boys go Into the
trenchesi
t ,n1. some me da
batt news
will arrive, To the home of P. and
Mrs. Scott the latter cattle Tuesday,
when the wire brought the sorrowful
intelligence that their son, Lient,
Frank Scott had fallen in the con-
flict of August 10th, in Femme. Of
course particulars are not to hand
but this was the first battle he was
in. [sista, Frank Scott, who is the
youngest son of the home, was rt
school teacher before signing up and
taught in Lam Mon and Buren
Ormitties. At Faculty and after-
ward at London he had taken speeial
courses in military evolutions, tae„
qualifying him aH Cadet, instructor
and it. Decembe, 1015 he j„ined the
Bvussele Pon:patty ite the lttigt Il%ir-
on fia (:allot., Coning from Toe/tete
where he was teaching, with the
rank of Lieut. After preliminary
training the Company went to Lon-
don and Cerny Borden, going over-
seas in Nov. 1010. In England,
Lieut. Scott took advanced courses
in bayonet drill and other activities
and was appointed phyeleal }nstten:-
tor on the Brigade staff, To his re-
gret he was retained in England
when the 101st was broker] up and
drafts of the boys sent to the trerch-
ee but about 4 months ago his wish
was gratified and he crossed the
channel. Shortly afterward lie met
with an accident by the fall of s
horse he was riding and was it. the
hospital for some time with ttn in-
jured limb, His last letter home re-
ported feeling fine and ready to do
his "bit," in the fierce struggle being
waged and the end carne very soon,
+"race," as he was called by his as-
sociates, was a soldierly young main,
25 years of age and born in Brus-
sels, He was fond of athletics and
always ready for a hall game, 1.t
drive behind a speedy horse or a
frolic with school companions. The
hope was often expressed that he
would teturn to his clear ones in dee
course. Idedied aas a soldier, fight-
ing for undying principles. Human
speech seems to have nothing ado•
quate for these occasions of sorrow
but the Great I'Iealer has a bahn and
is able to wipe away the tear and
Ming in it peace that is abiding,
Lieut. Frank Scott enjoyed the
esteem of a wide circle of warm
friends who deeply mourn his early
demise and sympathise with those
who mourn.
Lieut. D. S. Scott an older brother
of deceased, who was also overseas,
is now at Hamilton, Ont., on the
vocational staff. Sergt. Fred. Bur-
chill, a brother-in-law who also went
with the 101st is still in England do-
ing instructional work,

What
makes Norman's death unusually
sad is the fact that his brother
