TRAGIC DEATH IN THE WEST

Young Man Thought To Have Perished in Blizzard

Body Has Not Yet Been Recovered Though Diligent Search Has Been Made.

[Welland Telegraph, 30 January 1912]

Relatives here have been advised of the probable death of Mark Flagg near his home in Saskatchewan. He is thought to have perished in a blizzard during the first week in January, though the body has not yet been found.

It would appear that he had volunteered to look after the stock of a neighbor who was absent. On a search being made the only trace of his movements that could be found was a pail of milk in the snow.

The search has thus far failed in recovering the body of the young man.

His only sister, Miss Josephine Flagg, is a graduate nurse of the Michael Reece Hospital, Chicago, and is well-known in Humberstone and Welland.
