    1. Obituary WARREN "BOB" FRANCIS CRAIG GALE 1957
    2. FINAL TRIBUTE TO WARREN GALE AT WATERVILLE (1957) WATERVILLE - The funeral service for WARREN FRANCIS CRAIG GALE, only son of MRS. WARREN D. GALE and the late WARREN D. GALE, was held in Waterville United Church on Monday, December 30, at 2 p.m. REV. A. G. MacLEOD, Pastor of the church, officiated, assisted by REV. JAMES FISK, rector of ST. JOHN'S Anglican Church here. MRS. C. E. BURTON, church organist, rendered appropriate music immediately preceding and following the service, which was most impressive and paid eloquent tribute to the deceased. MR. GALE was a member of the Waterville United Church. He had answered the call of duty and rose to the rank of Lieutenant during World War 11. Since then he had taken time from a busy life, which gave play to his creative and artistic ability, to devote to Boy Scout and Cub work in Waterville. This he had keenly enjoyed and was leader of the Waterville Cub Pack at his death. By these organizations and by his many friends, both local and widespread, he will be sorely missed. The pall bearers, all close friends, were Scoutmaster A. LLOYD SPAFFORD, Assistant Cubmaster FREDERICK PESSIG, BLAYDES RIDER, FRANK G. GALE, ROYCE L. GALE Jr., and PHILLIP C. GALE, the last three being his cousins. The floral tributes were both numerous and beautiful among them being one of yellow 'mums, arranged in the insignia of the Boy Scouts. Attending the church in a body, the Waterville Boy Scouts and Cub Pack, some 35 in number, formed a guard of honor in the funeral cortege and at the interment, which took place in the GALE plot of the Waterville Cemetery. The attendance was very large, taxing the capacity of the church, and among those from out of town were: DR. P. S. DOBSON, of St. Thomas, Ont., retired principal of Alma College, great-uncle; MRS. DAVID ANDERSON, of Camden, Me,; MR. and MRS. M. E. ANDERSON, MRS. WILLARD FAITH, MR. ROBERT FAITH, MRS. J. R. OSGOODE, MISS ELIZABETH OSGOODE, MISS BETTY RIDER and MRS. JOHN WIGHT, all of Montreal; MR. and MRS. LAWRENCE TILTON, of Rock Island, and many others. The Boy Scouts were represented by the District Commissioner, J.H. WARK, the Assistant Provincial Commissioner, CLARENCE BLAKE, and the Cubs by District Cubmaster L. HUMPHRIES and others. ========================
