Mr. Leeson stepped across the strack to pick up something and then stepped back to the side where his men were. No on knows how the accident took place, but it is supposed some gravel must have given way under his feet and caused him to sway towards the track, when the engine struck him on the side, throwing him a great distance, breaking several ribs and inflicting other sever injuries.

247	(Medical):Traffic Accident Injuries Claim Second Victim in Town Fire Chief Almonte lost one of its most popular and dynamic citizens, Wednesday evening, when Harry H. Houston died in the Rosamond Memorial Hospital as a result of injuries received in a traffic accident on highway 44, Saturday afternoon, August 25th. He was in his 58th year. As recorded in last week's paper, Mrs Houston was riding with her husband in a light truck bound for Ottawa Exhibition when another vehicle of the same kind drove across the highway bound from Carp to Stittsville. It was driven by Ray Bell of the last mentioned village. The two machines collided and all three people were injured. Mr and Mrs Houston were brought to the local hospital where the latter died early Monday morning, Aug 27th. Her funeral was held on the following Wednesday. At first it was believed by attending physicians that Mr Houston had a good chance for recovery, barring complications. But as the week wore toward a close his condition took a turn for the worse. He spent a poor week-end and keen anxiety arose among those closely in touch with him. He did not improve with the result that death ensued Wednesday evening. It is believed that shock of his wife's death and the mental depression it caused took all the fight out of the grieving husband and made him an easier prey to the injures he had received.	Houston, Harold Henry "Harry" (I31496)
248	(Medical):Tragedy stuck at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hamilton, Almonte, RR 4 on Tuesday morning at 9.15 when their youngest child, Ivan Charles was killed beneath the wheels of a truck. The little boy who was in his third year was standing at a gate which his father had opened but on the opposite side of the road and as is the way of small children, darted into the path of the truck so quickly that no one saw him until it was too late. The truck was driven by Keith Drynan, an employee of Mr. Hamilton. The child was rushed to the Almonte General Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival by Dr. R. K. Bach. Dr. J. A. McEwen of Carleton Place, County Coroner was called and said there would be no inquest.	Hamilton, Ivan Charles (I19824)
