Published in the Crag & Canyon. February 19, 1916. Banff, Alberta

The first funeral ever witnessed in Banff with full military honours occurred last Sunday, when the remains of the late Private John Sterling Grindley, a member of the 103rd regiment, were conveyed to their last resting place in the Banff Cemetery.

Private Grindley was taken ill Feb. 5 with an attack of la grippe, and later removed to the Brett hospital where he could receive more careful attention. Thursday evening he was seized with heart failure and expired in a few minutes.

Deceased was a native of Scotland, aged 32 years and unmarried. He leaves a brother in Calgary, where he enlisted some months ago. He had only been in Banff a few weeks. All his male relatives are on the firing line.

The funeral was held at 2:30 Sunday afternoon from the Brett hospital to the Union church where Rev. A.D. Archibald, assisted by Rev. A.V. Grant, conducted the funeral services.

The cortege then reformed, headed by the ministers, then came the casket covered with floral wreaths on a carriage, the pall bearers, the firing party with rifles reversed and some 80 officers and men of the 103rd regiment.

At the cemetery the final obsequies were performed, the "Last Post" was sounded and three volleys fired over the grave.

(Yes, I know that, technically, geologically, some of these are in the Columbias, not the official Rockies)

Photo

Some shots of the #Canadianrockies in #acrylic and #gouache . I’ll have a whole series of these for sale at the #vermontholidaymarket Specifically with the acrylic #painting I modified the lighting a bit from the photo to amp up the saturation of the water and gave the scene a more of a mid-day lighting scheme. To the naked eye at mid-day and especially on a cell phone camera the water at #bowlake really appears turquoise. #bowlakealberta #bowglacierfalls #jaspernationalpark #banff #rockymountains #rockymountaineer #bowlake #landscapepainting #acryliconpaper #mountrundle #winterscape #banffcanada #banffalberta #banffsprings #natureart #natureartwork #nature #paintingdemo #gouachepainting (at Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckf8ULzrVbX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
