Norman E. Carruthers and Lydia J. Boyd were married at Lacombe, Alberta in 1910. --- Norman E. Carruthers Taken by Death "Norman E. Carruthers is dead." Those few words cast a gloom over Lacombe and district on Tuesday morning. People of all walks and conditions of life received the sad news with a feeling of grief they did not try to conceal. Tears sprang to the eyes of all, men and women, boys and girls, for they all knew Mr. Carruthers, as a friend and councillor. His long stay of almost thirty years in Lacombe has left its marks on the hearts of all; he was undoubtedly the greatest friend the people of Lacombe ever had. His hand was ever ready to assist those in need and in distress, scarcely a family in the district, but has received assistance in some way from him. His whole life was spent in helping those less fortunate than himself, and he will ever be remembered in the community. No eulogy we can pen could more feeling express the love of his many friends, than the words of the poem "Rest in Peace," with which we head his article. We can only express our deepest sympathy to his bereaved family, and close with those words so often quoted: "His name liveth for evermore." Mr. Carruthers was born in Carleton, Prince Edward Island, in 1872. He taught in eastern schools from 1890 to 1901 and was a past president of the Education Association of Prince Edward Island. He came to Lacombe in 1902 and taught in the country schools here for four months. Then he taught six months at Innisfail. Returning again to Lacombe, he accepted the position of principal, which he held from 1909 to 1917, with the exception of four months, when he taught in White Horse, Yukon. He was secretary-treasurer of the Alberta Educational Association for several years. In 1917 he became secretary and treasurer of the town. Since 1922 he held the office of police magistrate. He was appointed justice of the peace under the Government of 1904 and had since held that office. Mr. Carruthers had attained the thirty-second degree in the Scottish Rite. He was made Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Alberta three years ago, after holding all the chairs of the Blue Lodge. He has passed through all the chairs in the Oddfellows Lodge and was past patron in the Eastern Star. Mr. Carruthers is survived by his widow and four children: Helen M., who is teaching school near Mirror; Robert Boyd, Norman E. Junior, and Thomas J., all attending school in Lacombe. He also leaves three brothers and two sisters, all of whom are living in Prince Edward Island. The funeral will be held this afternoon under Masonic auspices.
