| 2601 | Lawrence, Elmer Harvey-83, Noel Road, passed away suddenly at home on Feb. 2, 2024. Born on November 20, 1940 in Noel Road, Elmer was a son of the late Clyde and Lalia (White) Harvey. “Well sadly, we have lost another one of the good guys! We lost a brother, dad, uncle, cousin and friend; however, it was best said that our community, which has many, lost a legend!” Elmer enjoyed this community for many years. Being an avid athlete with some great baseball teams, where lifetime friends were made with the Noel Road Braves. In his later years, he continued his passion for baseball attending little league games up the road at Findley Park. He also loved his Toronto Blue Jays. When he was done with his family visits that was his way out, “well I better get going I think my Blue Jays are on TV!” Elmer enjoyed family and community gatherings: card tournaments, ball games, family reunions, Christmas with the family, you name it! Always a good excuse to have a drink and catch up with those that he loved, and those that loved him. Elmer spent some time away from Noel Road but took pride in his property for many years. A property always well kept, just a cute little place. If you drove by and didn’t know who lived there, you were not a local. He worked hard and was a true carpenter, something he was proud of. Working with many different companies, again, making true friends. He was also an independent carpenter for many years, he loved to build! Asking you to take time and think about a good memory of Elmer, Ump, Umpire, The Silver Fox, Uncle Elmer! We assume there’s more names. A couple great memories: he was never fond of shirts, he enjoyed a cold drink of rum, he loved his cat Lady, he had cool tricks with his half finger and the story of how it happened would always change! He enjoyed being with people and had a knack for showing up at the right time, usually with a bottle of Spumante. He loved his two sons Kendall and Ray, and he greatly loved his mom. He was a dandy, kind, very special person, and meant so much to many as you did to him. Elmer is survived by his son Kendall, his sisters Joyce (Eric) Northrup, Evelyn (Donny) Mackenzie, his brothers Frank and Avery, sisters Marqueita Singer, Belinda (Ronny) Macphee and Kathy (Bernie) Verge. Besides his parents, he is predeceased by his son Ray, brothers Guy and Fred. “Love ya Ump.” There will be a celebration of life on Feb. 15 from 4 to 8 pm at the home of his sisters’ place, Marquetta Singer, 6659 Hwy 354 Kennetcook, Hwy 354 Kennetcook, N.S. | HARVEY, Lawrence Elmer (I19356)

| 2607 | Leander Caldwell Falls From Wharf - Attempt at Rescue Fails. Windsor, August 12 - All Windsor was excited to sympathy last evening for Charles and Mrs. Caldwell, when their little son, Leander, aged eight years, was accidentally drowned in the Avon River. The child was on the Wentworth wharf, playing with a chum named Roy Smith, where regular ferry boat Rotundas left about seven o'clock for down-the-river ports. The two boys were throwing stones into the water. Young Caldwell lost his balance and falling into the river, was soon out of sight. Smith ran along Water street giving the alarm. Neil Sharpman, got into his bathing suit and dived several times from the wharf at the place, where young Caldwell fell iinto the river, hoping to recover the body. Later, Charles Spencer, who owns a fishing boat, with his son went on the river dragging with grappling irons but could not locate the body. With the tide at flood it was believed that the body was carried up stream and might be located on the flats, when the tide had ebbed sufficiently to allow the men in the boats to work with the hope of success. The wharf was filled with citizens for some hours and several boats were out on the river all trying to do something but no trace of the body could be found. Sunday morning another search was made and grappling irons were used but without avail. | CALDWELL, Leander Owen (I24682)
