William Montour a Victim of War

Although but little mention of the fact has been made, members of the Six Nations' Indians who have enlisted have suffered along with other Canadians while taking their part in the struggle against the Huns, and some have made the supreme sacrifice.

A sad case is that of William Montour who passed away in Gravenhurst hospital and was buried recently in Delaware Methodist Church cemetery. William Montour left here with the 4th Battalion and served in the trenches under Colonel Malcolm Colquhoun. Some time ago he was wounded and invalided home to recuperate. While at Toronto convalescing he developed tubercular trouble, which necessitated his removal to the sanatorium at Gravenhurst where death resulted.
