While George Bruce's initial funeral marker was covered on 14 December 2010 Tombstone Tuesday.  Since then a headstone for himself, and his previously unmarked wife Frieda, has been erected. There is a very nice entry in the community history book Out Harvest of Memories (1983) written by Frieda but here are some basic facts:
George Bruce is the son of Charles Bruce and Christina (LaPlante) Bruce and was born and raised in Sturgeon Valley, Saskatchewan. He attended Brant School but left at a young age to assist on the farm. George joined the army and served in England in World War II but was transferred back to Canada for medical reasons and discharged.

Freida McWhirter is the daughter of Bob McWhirter and Olive (--?--) McWhirter and was born in Redvers, Saskatchewan. Freida's father Bob passed away when she was two weeks old and mother Olive moved to the Foxdale district to be with her parents. She attended Foxdale School, for high school studied via correspondence, and concluded her education by attending Normal School.

George Bruce and Freida McWhirter met when Freida came to teach at Brant School and they were married in Holy Trinity Church on 22 April 22 1946. They had one son.2
