Received this today however, its not an obit for a CRERAR. A Thomas CRERAR is mentioned as a political candidate the deceased had worked for in 1917 probably in Manitoba. This is not a current obit, its from 1950. To access the full post [which does not further mention any CRERARs], go to the Obituaries List at Rootsweb and look in the Archives for today's date.

Born in Renton, Scotland, Glen graduated in law from the University of Glasgow before immigrating to Canada in 1911 where he settled in Winnipeg. He later moved to Russell, Manitoba, where he practised law and was elected to the school board. A supporter of the Progressive Party in Manitoba, Glen had been the chief organizer for party leader Thomas Crerar in the 1917 federal election when Crerar was a Liberal-Unionist candidate, and the 1921 election in which the Progressives made their debut. <snip>
