The
following letter of condolence has been received by Mrs. Alberta
Phillips, whose son died in Montreal on 19 Nov 1919, from the
Burroughs organization, in whose employ he was at the time of his
death:
"Death cast its shadow over
the Burroughs family Wednesday evening, when it took from our
midst our friend and fellow-worker, Digby Phillips.
"Word of Digby's death came as
a distinct shock and decided grief to his host of friends, both in
the Burroughs family and other fields of endeavor. Digby became
ill Saturday morning and died Wednesday evening, the result of
blood on the brain.
"A distinct sense of loss
prevails throughout the entire district, which as a body, conveys
to Mrs. Phillips and Digby's family its deep sympathy.
"Acquaintances automatically
became friends, who knew him and loved him for his sterling worth,
upright character and dependability. To further eulogize Digby
would be superfluous. Ever a man's man -- we can but simply bow
our heads in sincere grief."
