In loving memory of Flora Vivian

SPROULE who passed
away at Hillsdale Estates, Oshawa, on Sunday, April 27, 2008

LINKLATER,
Harold
Fraser
Harold Fraser
LINKLATER was born on October 1, 1917 in Teeswater,
Ontario to Harvey and Gladys (née Mason
FRASER)
LINKLATER. He
was the oldest of three brothers. Until his death all four of
them were still living - I'm sure that is a record for four brothers
who had survived World War 2. Harold died at 90 and all his brothers
are in their 80s. His great-grandparents arrived in Canada from
the Orkneys in Scotland in 1852 and some of his great-uncles
had come to Canada with the Hudson's Bay Company. The family
moved to Kincardine in August 1929 when his father Harvey bought
the furniture store and funeral home from W.H.A.
MORRISON. He
worked helping his father from age 12, but really started that
career in 1935 when he finished Grade 12. In 1937-38 he took
courses at the Banting Institute and General Hospital in Toronto.
At 19 he got his license as an undertaker but couldn't use it
until he was 21. He married Nora Elizabeth
DIMOND on November 20,
1940. In May 1940 he had joined the Canadian army. He went into
Officer training in Brockville and between 1940 to 1943 he was
stationed in Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia. In World
War 2 he went overseas in June 1944 before the invasion of France
and stayed there until the fall of 1946. He was in the 19th Self-Propelled
Regiment. He was a Captain by the time the war ended. His daughter
Elizabeth Ann was born in 1949 and son John Douglas in 1951.
He was a Rover Scout and became a cub and scout leader. He was
on the Kincardine Public School Board for 10 years, belonged
to the Rotary Club, the Kinsmen, the Masonic Lodge and was president
of the Chamber of Commerce for two years and received an award.
In 1970 he was chairman of the Old Boy's and Girls Reunion Committee
and won the award of Citizen of the Year. He cherished the silver
tray that he was given to him with that inscription. The award
was reported in the London Free Press. Ballots were received
from as far away as Michigan and from across the province. It
was the largest number of ballots at that time and 70 percent
voted for him. His pride and joy was the cottage he built on
Crab Cove near Red Bay. He bought the lakefront property in 1952
for $350 and in 1953 he and his neighbour Ed
HAGEDORN put up
the frame. He worked both at the Linklater Funeral Home and the
Linklater Furniture Store. From 1966 to 1974 he owned and operated
the funeral business by himself. In 1974 at age 57 he sold the
Funeral business although he helped the new owner in the summers
for 4-5 years afterwards. In 1974 he and Nora bought a place
in Lakeland, Florida and started going there in the winters in
1975. Nora died on his birthday, October 1, 1988 after a 48-year
marriage. He married Helen Emma
HAYES (née
COULSON) of Saint Thomas
and Lakeland, Florida on July 22 1989. He and Helen lived at
the cottage until September 2000 and
in Owen Sound since then.
They wintered in Lakeland until 1995 when Harold got cancer of
the jaw. He survived that as he did a heart attack, strokes,
blindness, and several operations. He was tenacious and had a
tremendous will to live through all of these ailments until April 2008
when he accepted he was failing. Perhaps being a funeral director
had given him this will to live because he had to live with death
around him for so many years. Harold is survived by his beloved
wife Helen, his daughter Elizabeth (Liza) and her husband James
TROTTIER of Manila, Philippines, his son Douglas (Doug) of Red
Bay, his grandchildren Jesse and Dane of Barrie, his brothers
Ken (and Reita) of Kincardine, Bryce (and Alma) of Jarvis and
Gordon (and Joan) of Toronto, and his former daughter-in-law,
Dianne LINKLATER of Kincardine; his step-family Helen (and Bert)
WRAY of Durham and their children Marla (and Lee)
ZWOLMAN of
Milton, Kevin and David
WRAY; and to Marg
NICHOL (and Gerald)
of Brampton, Donald
FINDLAY (and Teresa) of Campbell River, British
Columbia and William
FINDLAY (and Gazelle) of Winnipeg; as well
as everyone's children and many grandchildren, great- and great-great-grandchildren.
Heartfelt thanks and affection are extended to dearest Helen,
Helen and Bert
WRAY of Durham, Fern and Ken
FYNN,
Linda
CRANDALL
and Ab LIPSETT and Mary
VAN
TRIGT, all of Owen Sound for their
loving care and assistance over the last years. A memorial service
took place on Monday May 5 at the Kincardine cemetery and was
followed by a reception at Knox Presbyterian Church. Arrangements
were made by Harold's friend Tom
WHITCROFT of the Thomas C. Whitcroft
Funeral Home and Chapel in Sauble Beach. Donations can be made

Perth County Ontario Provincial Police warn parents and young
people to take more care snowmobiling.
Ryan MORRISON of Millbank was riding at a friend's farm on Line 67
of Mornington Ward Wednesday about 8: 35 p.m. when he went off
a trail and struck a grain auger.
He was taken by ambulance to Stratford General Hospital where
he died of head injuries.
"Definitely, in two or three incidents, speed has been a factor,
as it is in most snowmobile crashes," Ontario Provincial Police
Const. Glen Childerley said yesterday.
"People have to learn that you don't have to go full bore to
enjoy a snowmobile. You can lose control very quickly.
"You can't stay on the trails. The speed of snowmobiles is outrageous
and, combined with their light weight, it doesn't make for easily
travelling at high speeds," he said.
Childerley said age and inexperience are also factors that lead
to trouble for snowmobilers, pointing to the death of a 15-year-old
boy December 19.
In that crash, Mitchell District high school student Perry
OSBORN
of Monkton was heading home from school when his snowmobile went
off a trail, crossed Perth Line 36 and travelled into the path
of a transport truck.
On December 8, a 19-year-old snowmobiler crashed into a tree
near Listowel and was dropped off at a motel by another snowmobiler,
who asked the operator to call 911.
The victim was taken to London Health Sciences Centre in critical
condition with several fractures and released about a week ago.
On December 17, a 17-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man were
thrown from a snowmobile when they struck a car while going the
wrong way on a road in Malahide Township.
In rural areas, snowmobiles are a common fixture on many farms
and it's not unusual for young people to take their machines
to school.
To drive a snowmobile, the driver must be at least 12, have a
snowmobile licence and take a safe snowmobiling course, Childerley
said.
"It's part of their life on a farm," he said. "But there are
groomed trails in the area that are patrolled by snowmobile clubs
and police and you don't often encounter problems on those trails."

Affectionately known as "Churchie," David grew up in Montreal
and attended Bishop College School. He served in the Royal Canadian

Later he attended Dalhousie University in Halifax, where he graduated
with a law degree in 1948. David met Jessie at Dal when he was

JACOBSON,
Caroline (née
WATTY)
Omnivorous reader, traveller, social democrat, mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother, aunt, great-aunt. Born November 13, 1900,
in Kirkwall, Scotland. Died December 25, 2007, of old age in
Thunder Bay, aged 107
By Ken MORRISON,
Jean▲
MORRISON and Clarence
JACOBSON and Maxine
LORENTSON,
Page L8
The first of 13 children, Caroline moved to Canada in 1903 with
parents Malcolm and Emily
WATTY and her baby sister.
Thanks to Ontario's Free Grants and Homestead Act, the family
took up land in Dorion, Ontario, a new settlement on the Canadian
Pacific Railway line northeast of Thunder Bay.
Caroline thrived in this milieu. With only one year of formal
education she taught herself to read. This she did avidly, later
acquiring a vast library of books on biography, history, politics
and geography.
At 18, she cut pulpwood for shipping to the mills. During a smallpox
scare she moved at age 21 to Schreiber, Ontario, a Canadian Pacific
Railway divisional and crew-change point, where she replaced
quarantined cooks and cleaners at the Canadian Pacific Railway's
Young Men's Christian Association.
Qualified for a railway pass after one year's employment, Caroline
took the train across Canada whenever possible.
She indulged her love of travel until age 95, with flights to
Europe and Cuba and automobile journeys to both coasts. She learned
to drive at 68 - and took a car maintenance course before getting
her licence.
After her marriage in 1938 to Alvin (Jake)
JACOBSON, a railway
conductor, Caroline continued working at the Y until her son
Clarence was born.
The family moved to Port Arthur in the early 1940s, and Caroline
gave birth to her second son, Douglas, who predeceased her in
1996. Jake died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 1962.
Caroline was in on the planning of Castlegreen, one of Canada's
earliest housing co-operatives, in Thunder Bay. Never missing
a meeting or a chance to volunteer, she lived there from its
opening in the 1970s with, later, daily attention from her son
Clarence, until going into a nursing home at age l03.
She insisted that her daily "porridge" of oatmeal, brewer's yeast,
wheat germ, blackstrap molasses and a whole bulb of garlic contributed
to her longevity and to her freedom from arthritis, allergies,
headaches and deafness.
But the main secret toher long life, she confessed, was that
she never worried about anything.
Caroline had a passion for politics. She voted when first eligible
and in every election thereafter. She was a life member of the
Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation/New Democratic Party, attended
conventions and worked in campaigns until she was 90.
Caroline once summed up her long life this way: "When I was young
I admired clever people. Now that I am old I admire kind people."
Always smiling in spite of adversity, Caroline was a kind, calm
person.

MORRISON are Caroline's Friends, Clarence
JACOBSON
is her son and Maxine
