    Copied from newspaper obituary:
    Late T. Torrance
    Native of Harvey Who Died in Ottawa, Buried at Old Ridge.
    St. Stephen, Sept. 1 -- The body of Thomas Torrance arrived on Monday from Ottawa where his death occurred after a short illness at the home of his son, Everett, of the Department of Pensions and National Health.   It was taken to the home of his brother, Robert Torrance, at Old Ridge and the service held the same afternoon.   There was a very large attendance from St. Stephen and the surrounding country, and there was a great quantity of beautiful floral tributes.   Rev. B. D. Earle of Kirk United Church of which Mr Torrance was a member, officiated.   He was assisted by Rev. Dr. W. W. Malcolm of Missouri, a former pastor.   Two selections were rendered by a male quartette.   Pallbearers were W. S. Poole, Herbert Fraser, Howard Dinsmore, Herbert Dinsmore, Clifford Thompson and George D. Budd.   Interment was in the St. Stephen Rural Cemetery.
    Mr Torrance was born in Harvey seventy-nine years ago, the son of Mr and Mrs Robert Torrance.   He was employed as a barber in Woodstock and afterwards set up his own shop in Sabattus, Me., coming later to St. Stephen where he conducted a shop until 1935 when he retired, after about twenty years in business in this town.   He is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Hattie Thompson of Old Ridge, one son, Everett, Ottawa; one brother, Robert, Old Ridge; two sisters, Mrs W. Messer, Harvey and Mrs Fred Richardson, Sabattus, Me.
    (1901 Census for Manners Sutton gives birth date as 4 Oct 1868, age 40 years, and living with his brother Robert.)

They had the following children:
