Notes:

(Medical):John McKay, 82 years old, who was killed instantly early Saturday morning by an east bound train on a crossing only a few hundred feet from his own home. Mr McKay, an early riser himself, was on his way to give a message to a neighbour whose work made it necessary for him to leave home around 6.30 Apparently the elderly man, who had to cross the tracks, did not notice the approach of the Montreal flier which stops here only if there are sleeping car passengers to get off. It was on its way through the station running one minute late at 6.41 (D.S.T.) when the accident happened one block east of the depot on Church Street crossing. There are three tracks there ? the main line and two passing tracks, and it is possible either he did not see the approaching train at all or if he did the thought it was on one of the sidings.

Elderly Resident of Almonte Loses Life In Railway Mishap
Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon for John McKay, 82 years old, who was killed instantly early Saturday morning by an east bound train on a crossing only a few hundred feet from his own home. Mr McKay, an early riser himself, was on his way to give a message to a neighbour whose work made it necessary for him to leave home around 6.30 Apparently the elderly man, who had to cross the tracks, did not notice the approach of the Montreal flier which stops here only if there are sleeping car passengers to get off. It was on its way through the station running one minute late at 6.41 (D.S.T.) when the accident happened one block east of the depot on Church Street crossing. There are three tracks there ? the main line and two passing tracks, and it is possible either he did not see the approaching train at all or if he did the thought it was on one of the sidings.
Coroner On Train

Mitchell who was called to the scene. Dr McEwen gave the train leave to proceed after a delay of some 25 minutes and released the body having decided it was a pure accident with no inquest necessary. Mr McKay was a fine old gentleman with many friends, and the mishap shocked all those who knew him and created much sympathy for his wife and family. Deceased was an Oddfellow and on Sunday evening a large number of members of the Craft from Vivan Lodge, Arnprior, held a service at the house, and six of the brethren acted as pallbearers at the funeral which was held on Tuesday from the family home on Church street. Services were conducted in the Almonte United Church of which he was a faithful member and at the grave side in the Auld Kirk Cemetery by Rev J. Ray Anderson.
