DEATHS.
At North Shields, on the 2nd inst., Elizabeth, daughter of the late Mr Jacob Mowat, mariner.³

After a long illness resulting from an attack of influenza, Mr Edward Turnbull, the well-known funeral furnisher, cab proprietor, and furniture dealer, died at his residence, 112 Bedford Street, North Shields, at the age of 59. Mr Turnbull served his apprenticeship with Mr Johnson, who was a well-known cabinet maker carrying on business in Stephenson Street. After concluding his apprenticeship he began business on his own account in the same trade, over thirty years ago, and subsequently added that of an auctioneer. Taking up the business of an undertaker also, Mr Turnbull was the first in the town to make it possible for the poor people to have a funeral conducted with the dignity and ceremony befitting the occasion, the prices previously charged having been prohibitive to all but the well to do. For this service he earned the title of "The Poor Man's Undertaker." Always an energetic man of business, the deceased was continually engaged in extending his interests. Twenty years ago he commenced in a very modest way as a cab proprietor, a business which has grown very extensively, and which now includes motor vehicles, extensive stables having been erected in Albion Road. The deceased also built some years ago a large furniture depository in Upper Camden Street.
Mr Turnbull was an ardent Liberal in politics. He took no active part in public affairs, although he was repeatedly invited to stand as a candidate for the Town Council. He was interested in friendly society work, and was made an honorary member of the Foresters on the last occasion on which he was out of his house. He leaves a widow, three sons, who succeed him in his business, and four daughters.¹⁰

This afternoon the mortal remains of the late Mr Edward Turnbull, cab proprietor, etc., of North Shields, who died on the 28th of February, were interred at Preston Cemetery. There was a very large number of friends present, there being seventeen carriages.
The chief mourners were Messrs J.H. Turnbull, J.P. Turnbull, E. Turnbull, jun., and W. Patterson. There were also present Messrs [I have not copied out the lengthy list of men's names].
The cortege left the residence at 1:45 p.m., and the service at the graveside was carried out by the Rev P.H. Moore, Vicar of St Peter's.
Many beautiful wreaths were sent by sympathisers, one very fine one being "a token of respect" from the deceased gentleman's employees.¹¹

Have been favoured with instructions from the Executors of the late Mr E. Turnbull, to SELL upon the Premises as above, a Large Assortment of Excellent HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE and FURNISHINGS.

Ken McLean Family - by Florence McLean

Kenneth Angus McLean was born in Minot, North Dakota, of parents born in Ontario. The family came to Alberta settling in Calgary where Ken attended school. Later the family farmed in the Ensign district.

Ken served in the Army during the first World War but due to an injury was kept in Vancouver where he met and married Lillian Muir. They had two children -- Alberta (Mrs Hollister) of Magrath, Alberta and Kenneth Hector (Wally) who lost his life in a plane over the low countries during the Second World War. Ken bought grain in Retlaw, Aldersyde and Ensign where Lillian McLean died in 1925. During Ken's stay in Ensign he and Florence Richmond married. They had one son (now of Vulcan) -- Eugene. The Wheat Pool opened an elevator in Brant and Ken bought grain for them, remaining there for ten years. In 1937 he and Florence took over the Richmond land, adding the Corriveau section.

Ken was most interested in organizing baseball and was an enthusiastic curler. Due to ill-health, it was necessary for Ken to retire and he bought a home in Calgary where he stayed until he entered the hospital. He remained there until his death in July, 1971.⁶
