War Veteran Passes - Death of Thomas Edward Walton Takes Place on Sunday In His 53rd Year - Thomas Edward Walton, a veteran of the Great War, passed away at his home, Swan street, on Sunday, in his 53rd year. He had been in poor health for many years, and since severing his connection with the Hecker H-O Company some seven years ago had been unable to do any work. He suffered severely with asthma, his condition being aggravated by an attack of poison gas which he passed through in the Great War. "Tommy," as he was familiarly known by his many friends, was quite popular and was greatly esteemed for his many fine qualities. He was unmarried. Born at Brantford on Sept. 20, 1891, he was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Norman Walton. He served overseas for over three years, enlisting with the 111th Battalion, Galt. While in England, he was transferred to the Royal Canadian Regiment and served with that unit in France for over three years. He attended the United Church and was a member of the Masonic and I.O.O.F. lodges, as well as of the 111th Battalion Association Galt. Surviving are three brothers, William of Belleville, Albert of the Veterans' Guard, Montreal, and Charles of Guelph, and two sisters, Mrs. Ephraim Hawes (Eva) and Mrs. Reginald Hooton (Sadie), both of Ayr. - The Funeral - Many friends and relatives attended the funeral which took place on Tuesday afternoon to the Ayr cemetery. Rev. J. W. Currie had charge of the services, and the pallbearers were: R. E. Maeder, J, C. Kyle, James D. Patterson, George Edgar, G. A. Matheson and R. O. Hawes.
