A. Manuel Meets Tragic Death
A. D. Manuel met a sudden and tragic death at the C.P.R. depot on Tuesday afternoon when he was run over by the west bound passenger train...although several...shouted at him not to attempt to cross ahead of the train...the dead man apparently was convinced he could make it...
The late Mr. Manuel was about 65 years of age. He was a native of Newfoundland, and over 40 years ago came west and for a time followed his trade as carpenter at Vancouver, where he worked for a number of large firms. Later he came to Nelson, where he worked at his trade for a number of years and again shifting east to Moyie where he was in the carpenter business on his own. From Moyie he went to Frank, Alberta, and in company with Charlie Clayton and Louis Cribb he built the Frank Hotel, being in that town at the time of the historic Frank slide in 1903. He remained at Frank until 1916, when the persistent rumors of a second slide caused an exodus from the town with a consequent falling off in business and Mr. and Mrs. Manuel and family removed to Creston where they have since made their home. Deceased was married in 1906 at Frank and his widow and two sons, Herb, in California, and Will, a first year student at British Columbia University, survive him. The figure of the late Alfred Dalton Manuel was a well known one in Creston and his quiet, unassuming manner made him edually [sic] popular with everyone and in her sudden and tragic bereavement Mrs. Manuel and the two boys have the very deep sympathy of all.
Awaiting the return of Will Manuel, who is with the Creston company of the Kootenny [sic] Regiment, in training at Vernon, the funeral is set for 4.30 p.m. today (Thursday), from Trinity Untied Church, with interment in Creston cemetery.
