 Fumigation Station in order that he might devote his whole energy to 

 the improvement of Indian orchards and farms. 



It was in pursuit of his duties as an officer of the Indian Department, 

 loaned to the Entomological Branch of the Dominion Department of 

 Agriculture, that he met his untimely end on March 6th, 1917. 



The most outstanding feature of his character was his absolute trust 

 and loyalty to his colleagues and to his chiefs, and his obvious endeavour 

 to do the very best he could in the work in which he was engaged. 

 Friends throughout the Province learnt of his death with the greatest 

 regret, realizing a sterling character had passed away as well as a perfect 

 friend and companion.
