Gladys Ennis, 27 months old, was found choking in a pile of mud by her mother, Lucy Ennis (Gladys died in 1993 at age 94, the last survivor of the slide)

Buried:
ashes scatterd at the edge of Frank Slide, marker in 152 St. Frank, Alberta

also recorded as Frank Slide Memorial Cemetery, Crowsnest Pass, Canmore Census Division, Alberta, Canada

This small cemetery was informally established in 1922 with the discovery and burial of six victims of the Frank Slide of 1903. The cemetery was formalized in 1953. Since then two additional persons have had their ashes scattered here.

Although their memory is honored here, please note that this cemetery is NOT the burial place for other victims of the Frank Slide. Memorials for the victims whose bodies were never recovered are at https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2663855/the-frank-slide .

The Frank Slide
On April 29, 1903 a massive landslide fell from the side of Turtle Mountain into the valley below, known as the Frank Slide after the nearby village of Frank. About ninety persons were killed, and only a few bodies were recovered. The memorials recorded here are for those persons whose bodies were never found, and remain beneath the Frank Slide. Information on the victims can be found at the nearby Frank Slide Interpretive Centre.

Memorials here do not include six victims whose bodies were discovered in 1922 and were interred in the Frank Slide Memorial Cemetery (ID 2663655). The Frank Cemetery (ID 2603311), which served the village of Frank from 1901 until 1903, was buried beneath the Frank Slide so no victims of the Frank Slide are buried there.

Gladys married Emile Henri Verquin on 25 Jan 1934 in Pinchercreek, Alberta, Canada. Emile was born on 25 Apr 1906 in Nord, France; died on 31 Aug 1994. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
