His theme, "We See Jesus Crowned," was based on Hebrews 2:9, "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God, should taste death for every man."
Mr. Fred Buck rendered a solo, "God Will Take Care of You," Miss Anne MacLeod presided at the organ.
Those left to mourn his loss are his wife and young son, Buddy; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Elger, and brother, Clifford, of this town; a sister, Mrs. Percy Coburn, of Lowell, Mass.; a brother, Mr. Lyford Elger, of Mattawa, Ont., and a large circle of relatives and friends.
The bearers were Messrs. George Armstrong, William Paquin, Burnis Mayhew, Charles Armstrong, Kenneth MacLeod and Dr. J. D. Scott.
