Captain A.A. King Will Be Buried in Dartmouth
A locomotive, snow-plow, caboose and coach made a special run of 370 miles, to bring out from the northland the body of Captain A.A. King, resident of Dartmouth, and first port warden of Churchill, who died there several days ago from a heart attack Thursday morning, November 17, 1932.
The weekly way-freight between The Pas and Mile 327 continued to the far northern port for the body, and brought it back to The Pas. The body of Captain King, who was formerly first officer of the Government tug Ocean Eagle, used in Hudson Bay patrols, will arrive in Halifax on the Maritime Express tonight. Accompanying it are Percy King, his son, Mrs Florence Gosse, Toronto, his daughter, and Captain William Poole, Dartmouth, his brother-in-law. The funeral will take place from 75 Tulip Street, Dartmouth, at 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, thence to Christ Church.
Note of interest: My grandmother, Henrietta Alice Rollerson, nee Eastman, Captain King's 1st cousin, once removed, and her husband, my grandfather, Walter Rollerson, met the train in Winnipeg, when it arrived and spent time with the family, and paid their respects. My grandmother kept the newspaper clipping announcing the death and transit to Nova Scotia and I have posted this on Ancestry.
