Rushton, Myles Leroy, age 91, Truro; It is with deep sadness that Myles' family makes known his passing, at Wynn Park Villa, Truro, on Monday, January 25, 2016. Born in Westchester Station, Cumberland. Co., he was a son of the late Oliver and Charlotte (Weatherbee) Rushton. Myles attended school in Westchester and finished school in 1942. He worked for DND during summer months of 1940 and 1941, while attending school. After finishing high school, in 1942, he returned to work for DND for a year, then joined the RCNVR Medical Branch and served in WW II until discharge in 1946. After serving the Navy, he was employed with Postal Services for 20 years, employed with Colchester Property Assessment Department until taking a job with Social Services Province of Nova Scotia in 1965.
