WILLIAM HAMILTON BURGAR
LIEUT. WILL BURGAR
[Welland Telegraph, 22 October 1918]
Welland was shocked to learn of the death of Lieut. Will Burgar at his mother’s home at Niagara Falls early on Sunday morning. Death was due to Spanish influenza which he contacted at Niagara Camp. Will was born in Welland thirty years ago, son of the late Doctor Burgar, and was well known in the city. He was for some time connected with the Welland Realty Company. He was an officer of the 176th battalion, and after being for a time overseas, returned to Canada and was transferred to the forces at Camp Niagara. His mother and brother, Fred, reside at Niagara Falls; Ollie, another brother, is with the Pullman Company in Chicago; and his sister, Miss Donna, is overseas with a United States nursing unit. The funeral will take place at 2 o’clock today and will be private. The family has much sympathy in their sad bereavement.
