Thomson is regarded by some as Canada's most famous painter. He died in July 1917, drowning in
Canoe Lake in
Ontario's
Algonquin Park, and was buried there. Two days later, his family sent an
undertaker to
exhume the body and send it back for re-burial in
Leith, Ontario. In October 1956, Little and some friends decided to dig up Thomson's original burial place at Canoe Lake.
