Bertram Clarke
Suffering a heart attack in Ottawa Monday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, Bertram Clarke, 53-year-old civil servant of 425 Somerset street west, Ottawa, collapsed on the street and died instantly before medical aid could arrive. Mr Clarke, veteran of the First Great War, had been in ill-health for some time and for the past week had not been to work under orders of his physician, Dr M.D. Graham, of the Department of Pensions and National Health. Mr Clarke had resided in Ottawa for the past 23 years and during that time had been employed in the personnel branch of the Department of Transport.

Born in Maine, U.S., he was the son of the late Mr and Mrs David Clarke, and came to Canada 51 years ago. The family settled at Almonte. There, 32 years ago, he married Pearl Illingworth, who survives. Mr Clarke attended the United Church. During the First Great War, Mr Clarke served with the 73rd Regiment from 1914 until 1918.

Besides his widow, he is survived by three daughters: (Jean) Mrs Dan Larocque, Almonte; the Misses Florence and Joan Clarke, Ottawa; a brother, Hugh Clarke, Moose Jaw and two sisters, Mrs Charles Comba of Toronto, and Miss Hattie Clarke, Almonte.
