  • Notes 
    • The funeral of Alfred Stuart Craig, of Wetaskiwin, who passed away at his home on Tuesday, August 9th, at the age of seventy years and six months, was held from St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Rev. A.R. Schrag, of the United Church, who officiated, delivered a very impressive sermon. He spoke of the life of the deceased, being a member who was very devoted to the Church and its activities. He took for his text a passage from the 90th Psalm, and also the 14th chapter of St. John, which was favored by the deceased.
      The hymns chosen were "Abide With Me" and "I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy Voice." Mrs. A. Johnson sang very sweetly a solo, "The Silver Chord."
      The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends from far and near. The interment took place in the family plot in the Wetaskiwin cemetery, at 2:30, Thursday, Aug. 11.
      He leaves to mourn his loss, his sorrowing wife, two sons and two daughters, Lloyd of Prince George, B.C., Charles of Wetaskiwin, Mrs. T.R. Caldwell, Edmonton, and Mrs. C.I. Miller, Boston, Mass. Four of his family pre-deceased him, Robert J. aged four years, in 1894, Alfred Stuart aged twenty-three years in 1913; Adam Lawrence, who paid the supreme sacrifice in the World War in 1918, Mrs. L.G. Kelley of Wetaskiwin, in 1924. He also leaves three step children, Mrs. A. Weyer, Rocky Mountain House; D. Carl Munro, Drumheller, Mrs. C. Craig, Wetaskiwin.
      He was born in Lanark, Ontario, in 1862. His parents were John and Mary Craig. In the family were eight sons and one daughter. He married Flora Barr in 1883, eight children blessing their union. He came to Alberta in 1913, and settled at Wetaskiwin, where he farmed for 11 years. His first wife predeceased him in 1914. He married in 1916, Mrs. Elizabeth Munro of Edmonton.
      Before retiring from farming, Mr. Craig was a member of the Council of the M.D. of Montgomery, four years of which he was Reeve. He spent the last seven years in Wetaskiwin.
