Death was due to a heart condition. Mr. Frisken leaves his wife, the former Ida Fairburn, and two sons, Ross and Donald, of New Norway, and one daughter, Thelma, Mrs. Frank Rodway of Waterloo, Ont. There are eight grandchildren. Two brothers and two sisters are resident at Napanee, Ont. Deceased was born in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, and as a lad of seven years came with his parents to Napanee, 25 miles from Kingston, Lennox county, Ont. It was there he married and in 1915 the family came to Alberta in the spring of the year. Mr. Frisken purchased the "Mac Johnson" farm four miles east of New Norway, and 14 miles southeast of Camrose. In 1923 Mr. and Mrs. Frisken decided to come to Camrose to reside and bought a house in the west part of town. After its sale they removed to Edmonton for a year. On returning Mr. Frisken acquired property on the west side of Main St., and built the house which now belongs to Arnold Anderson. He later built the pretty buff bungalow, his late residence, separated from his previous home by one house, that of Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Snider, friends of many years' standing. A man of great energy Mr. Frisken loved the out-of-doors and was devoted to gardening in all its phases. He was a typical "mixed" farmer while engaged in agricultural pursuits on his half-section in the New Norway district. His interest in local affairs was keen and he kept abreast of world conditions and developments. He was often the centre of a little coterie gathered in a favorite downtown rendezvous to talk over matters of the moment. The funeral service will be held tomorrow at two p.m. in the Camrose United church.
