OBITUARIES

It is with regret that we announce the
passing of Kenneth William Pryor, a long
time Cassiar resident, who died in
Cassiar Private Hospital on June 8th after
a short illness. His death is attributed to
a heart attack.

A well-known figure throughout the
Yukon and northern B.C., Mr. Pryor was
born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in
1910, of Scottish and English parentage.
In 1919 the family moved to Canada.

Mr. Pryor was raised and educated at
Powell River, B.C. After several years
mining in B.C. and Ontario, he moved
to Whitehorse, Yukon, in 1942, where
he entered the trucking business.

In 1955 Mr. Pryor took the contract for
hauling wood for the Cassiar mine, where
he has lived ever since. He was an avid
hunter and fisherman and a host of
friends in the Yukon and northern B.C.
mourn his loss.

He is survived by his widow, Lillian,
and son Edward, who is attending school

at Fort St. John, B.C.

Funeral services were held at Cassiar on

Saturday, June 10th.
