I did some of my own reserch at http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/douglas_thomas_5E.html<br /><br />and i found out a few things about his family. Two of his brothers died of infancy, two died from yellow fever, and two died from terbuculosus. I bet that was a shock when he received the claim, being the youngest son and all. Quite sad too. His whole family died and he gets rewarded for it. Mabe thats why he was so keen on helping others, because he felt bad at recieveing the title. who knows, but it was a good thing. Without this series of unfortunate events would of never received a bunch of settlers in manitoba, which helped us develop and become the province we have todayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
