Note: After he served in the Army, and was honorable discharged, he returned to Canada and discovered one of Canada's most famous copper and zinc mines. The person who bought it named it the Sherritt-Gordon Mine. In order to carry on further prospecting, he decided it was necessary to obtain an airplane. He bought and flew a new biplane christened "The Hunter Boy;" from Miami to Le Pas, Manitoba, after only one week of instructions. April 21, 1928, at the age of thirty-three, he was killed on a return trip to Le Pas.
