Tribute Paid to Banff Pioneer at Impressive Funeral Services
St. George's Anglican Church was crowded with Banff businessmen, citizens, park officials and many from out of town, on Monday afternoon, January 19, who paid their last respects to George Osborne Brewster, 60, well known and popular pioneer and businessman of Banff. Mr. Brewster died in the University hospital at Edmonton, Friday, January 16, following a month's illness.
Born in Winnipeg on July 20, 1887, Mrs. Brewster came to Banff with his parents in March 1889, and resided here until the time of his death. He received his education in Banff, Winnipeg, Andover, Mass., and Princeton. Enlisting with the Canadian Artillery as a private in 1917, he served overseas until his discharge in 1919 when he returned to Banff. He was a member of the Renfrew Club, Calgary, and St. George's Church, Banff.
Owner of the Brewster Bus & Auto Service and the Brewster Skyline Tours of Banff as well at the Brewster Mountain Bungalow Camp at Saskatchewan River Crossing, Mr. Brewster was well known for his fair business dealings and, although not a man of many works, his belief was evidently that actions speak louder than words.
An avid supporter of sports of all kinds, especially hockey, George Brewster was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand where needed, and took a keen interest in civic life and the betterment of conditions in Banff. The teenagers, as well as the sport clubs in Banff have lost, in his death, a most interested and helpful friend, and all Banff, as well as many from outside and far points, mourn their loss in his death.
He is survived by his widow, Barbara; two daughters, Evelyn and Sheila; two sons, Jimmy and Joe; one sister, Mrs. Phil A. Moore; four brothers, Jack, Bill and Pat, all of Banff, and Fred of Jasper.
Funeral services were conducted by Canon H. Tully Montgomery and interment was in the family plot in Banff cemetery.
Pallbearers were: H.A. Hutchison, J.Boyce, F. Hayes , all of Banff, N. Hutchinson, J.C. Stephenson, Calgary and F. Sabin of Eureka, Montana.
Banff Funeral Service, supervised by Jacques Funeral Home, Calgary, was in charge of arrangements.
