They were still living in Carleton Place when Clarence and Dawson enlisted in the War.
I can't find Eric on 1911 census.
I do not see any marriages or deaths for them on Ancestry.ca
Did they move west after 1916? They must have moved somewhere as they had lived in Lanark all their lives but didn't die there that I can find except for Earl.
