Jimmy was a very alert and talented youngster, a pupil at the Bond Head school, and his early passing is most sad and distressing. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to his sorrowing parents and little brother, Reggie. That sympathy was shown by the large attendance at the funeral service held at Emmanuel United Church, Bond Head, at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon last, and by the great number of floral tributes received at his home. The service was in charge of Rev. E.A. McIlwain, assisted by Rev. C.R.P. Hearn. A solo was rendered by Jimmy Thompson, Its's Good-Night Here but Good-Morning Up There." Pallbearers were Walter Reynolds Wallace Reynolds Verle Stewart Jimmy Thompson Billy Breedon and Alan McLean.
