This week it is our regretful duty to record the passing of Mr. Rowland Thomas, who died in Portage la Prairie General Hospital on July 12 at the age of 72 after a short illness. His death came as a severe shock to his family and friends. Rowland Thomas was born in Manchester, England, on October 1, 1873, and came to Canada at the early age of 16. A short time later he settled on his farm in the Katrime district where he resided until the time of his death. In December, 1900 he was married to Miss Elizabeth McKelvy, of Katrime. He was a man of quiet disposition and a kindly heart. His life was dominated by a spirit of friendliness which was responsible for his many kind deeds. He was a devoted husband and father, and his passing from the life of the Katrime community will be felt by all. He is survived by his wife and three daughters: Mrs. Arthur Grove, of Katrime; Mrs. James Lorimer, of Winnipeg, and Mrs. George Bull, of Springbrook; also ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
