Tragic Death of Ross Leach Under a Load of Wood
was taking load from bush when it overturned and pinned him below
Young man was found by his father, Body had lain under for probably about an hour
Mr. Ross Leach, who resided on the old Templeton farm of Ramsay met a tragic death on Monday afternoon. His body was found under a load of wood. His father Mr. Wm. Leach, found his son. It appears that Ross Leach after dinner on Monday went to the bush for a load of wood. About four o'clock Mr Wm Leach, who had been also in the bush, came upon the overturned Sleigh. The horses were still standing as evidently they been for about an hour. Removing the sticks. Mr. Leach found his son underneath life was extinct. It was thought that the sleigh became unmanageable going down a hill at the foot of which Ross Leach was found, and that the horses had become entangled in the harness with the result that the load was overturned, and pinned the unfortunate young man underneath. Ross Leach who was only thirty-three years of age, was widely known, and held in high esteem. His wife was Miss Sadie Toop, daughter of Mrs. A.E. Toop. He leaves, besides his widow, two little daughters aged 8 and 2 years.

J.J. Lowe. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Wilfred Toop, John Toop, William Leach, Daniel Leach, Frank McNeely, and Daniel Lynch. Dr. A.A. Metcalfe, the corner was notified of the fatality but decided that an inquest was unnecessary.
