On Thursday, June 9, the remains of the late Howard Sibbald, Alberta old timer, were laid to rest in the Banff cemetery, following a Masonic service at the Masonic Hall. The Rev. Canon Montgomery of St. George's officiated at the graveside. Pallbearers were Messrs. W.A. Brewster, G.O. Brewster, Lorne Orr, D. White Jr., Bert Manley and W.C. Bryan. The Park Funeral Home had charge of arrangements.
Death came suddenly at noon on Tuesday, when the deceased passed away at his home here from a heart attack. He was 73 years old.
The late Mr. Sibbald leaves to mourn his passing five daughters, Mrs. J. I. Brewster and Mrs. G.E. Hunter of Banff, Mrs. Harold Lewis, Mrs. Kina Shaw, and Mrs. Mary Carr of Los Angeles, and one son, Hugh, also of Los Angeles. The late Mr. Sibbald was predeceased by his wife by less than two months.
Son of Alberta's pioneer school teacher, the late Andrew Sibbald, deceased, with his brother Frank, sister Elsie and their parents, made the 105 day journey from Barrie, Ontario, where they were born, to Morley, in 1875. As a youth in 1881 he met the first railroad pathfinders on their westward trek seeking a path through the Rockies. Following a boyhood and young manhood spent at Morley, he married Rettie Grier, daughter of William Grier, one of the first Indian agents at Morley, and for six years worked on the Leeson and Scott ranch near there. He later became Indian Agent at Gleichen, then for a couple of years operated a store at Exshaw. In 1905 he became chief warden of the Rocky Mountain (now Banff) National Park. With the opening of the Banff-Windermere Highway in 1923, he was appointed superintendent of the Kootenay National Park, a position he held until his superannuation in 1928. Since then and until last year, he spent his summer in Banff and winters in California
