This is great to see. Thank you for posting it. Ernest completed his training in 1932 so may have left the farm - but it's tantalising to wonder if he became E G Gerrard and married daughter Bernice (who I didn't know about). I wouldn't be surprised if he did change his surname, as I have drawn such a blank looking for Fliege. I will look into this.
I've been surprised to see how speedily Ernest's mother was buried. She died at 12.45am in the General Hospital, Winnipeg; the notice was in the paper that same morning, and the funeral was in the afternoon, at 4pm. I wonder if that if usual for Canada in 1933? The grave doesn't have an owner listed but there are records missing.
