Notes

Nora Carlaw recorded:

Elora, Sept. 18, 1934. - (special) - Word of the passing of William Lawrence Carlaw, popular Elora young man, came as a distinct shock to this community today. Mr. Carlaw, who was in his twenty-third year, was born near Arthur, Ont., the son of Mr. Walter F. Carlaw and the late Mrs. Carlaw. Death came after a brief illness of a week in Groves Memorial Hospital, Fergus.

Mr. Carlaw came with his parents to Pilkington Township to live when only a boy. He attended Salem Public School and later the Elora High School. He was a member of Knox Presbyterian Church, and also Elora Lodge, I.O.O.F. For the past seven years he has been a member of the staff of the Royal Bank, the first five years here and the last two years in North Toronto. Besides his father, he is survived by three brothers and two sisters; Eva (Mrs. J.P. Watson), Fergus; Lynn, Moorefield; James, Wallace and Orvilla, at home.

Very sudden and unexpected was the death of William L. (Bill) Carlaw, ledger-keeper in the Royal Bank at Sherwood Ave. and Young Street. The deceased youn man who has been a member of the local staff for the past two years resided on Mount Pleasant Road and when he reported ill a few days prior to his death, nothing serious was anticipated and his sudden demise was a great shock to a host of friends. He was a member of Glenview Presbyterian Church and his home was in Elora where he was horn twenty two years ago. The funeral took place from his old home in that town under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, of which lodge he was a member, and the cortege was one of the largest seen there in years. A kindly and popular young chap, his untimely death will be greatly mourned by many friends.
