(Medical):Mr Harvey Boal, an employee of Mr Howard Davey, local building contractor, suffered fatal internal injuries early Wednesday afternoon when he was pinned against the wall of a new vault in the Bank of Montreal building by a 2 ? ton door that was being moved into position. He died in the Civic Hospital two hours after the accident. This heavy piece for the new vault that was constructed in the local office of the Bank of Montreal this summer. arrived by truck and was moved into the building last night. It took about five hours to get it to the back of the building where the vault is located. Workmen had succeeded in moving it through the doorway of the vault, had raised it up on rollers and were moving it into position when the accident happened. Carman Denny and Alex Spinks were on one side of the big iron slab and Mr Boal was on the other when it slipped off the roller and pinned the victim against the wall. He was held there for upwards of half an hour while men tried to release him. This was finally done by man power and hydraulic jacks. Mr Boal was conscious all the time. Dr O.H. Schulte was in attendance and he was removed to the Rosamond Memorial Hospital in the Kerry-Scott ambulance where he was given first aid and then taken to the Civic Hospital in Ottawa.

?b?Final Tribute To Popular Young Man?/b?
The accidental death of Harvey Louis Boal on Wednesday afternoon, Aug 27th, was mentioned in the last issue of this newspaper. It happened early in the afternoon and although the Gazette was on press, a story reciting the bare details was published. Mr Boal, who was only 41 years of age, was working for the Almonte Building Supply Co., which is headed by Mr Howard Davey. This concern had the contract of building a new vault and making other extensive alterations in the basement of the Bank of Montreal Building. It was while helping to work into position a 2 ? ton door for the new vault about 1.15 p.m. that the accident which was to prove fatal occurred. Men were moving the big slab of steel forward on rollers and in some way it slipped off and canted to the side Mr Boal was on, pinning him against the wall. It took almost half an hour to release him and then he was rushed to the Rosamond Memorial Hospital by Kerry-Scott ambulance where first aid was given and he was taken straight to the Civic Hospital, Ottawa. He died a few minutes after arrival there. This sad affair cast a gloom over the large section of people in town and district who knew the victim. He was a pleasant, light hearted obliging chap who knew a lot of people and who was very much liked by them. Harvey L. Boal was born on a farm in Ramsay Township, a son of Stanley Boal and his wife, the late Mabel Miller. After receiving his education in the local schools he joined the Stormont and Dundas Regiment and went Overseas in the Second World War. He was on active service on several western fronts including Germany at the last of the struggle. After returning home Mr Boal was employed in various mechanical capacities. For some years he was in charge of the line maintenance for Lanark and Carleton Counties Telephone Co. and when this was taken over by the Bell he worked for it for a time until the merging operation was over. After that he went with the Almonte Public Utilities Commission and he continued with them until he had a serious accident getting in contact with a live wire while doing repair work on top of a pole. His hand were badly burned and he lost a couple of fingers. But Harvey had a lot of courage and he was an optimistic fellow. This handicap he took in stride and did good work for years with Arthur W. Smith as an electrician and latterly with the construction firm headed by Mr Davey. In 1942 he married the former Ellen Green who survives togther with one son, Bill. He also leaves his father and three sisters, Mrs Orville Abbott (Lulu) of Brockville; Mrs Clare Syme (Ione) Ramsay; Mrs Clarence McInerney (Jean), Minden The late Mr Boal was an active member of the local branch of the Canadian Legion under whose auspices the funeral was held with service at the Kerry-Scott Funeral Home at 12.30 Saturday. The reason for choosing this time was that Rev James Ritchie of Presbyterian Church was away from town and Rev J. Ray Anderson of the Almonte United Church had two wedding ceremonies to perform in the afternoon. But in spite of the noon hour arrangement it was one of the largest funerals ever held in Almonte as host of friends paid a last tribute to this popular man whose life was cut off tragically at such an early age. Among those who attended the funeral from distant points was Dr Jos Teich of Toronto who fondness for sports created a tie with the late Mr Boal when Dr Teich was practising here. Pallbearers were: Messrs Howard Davey, F. Honeyborne, Cliff Robertson, Ray Proctor, Howard Boal and Millar Struthers. Among the beautiful floral tributes were pieces from the following clubs and organizations; Presbyterian Heather Club. Employees of H.R. Davey Construction, A.W. Smith Electric and Geo Julian, Senior Baseball Team, Supertest Warehouse, Carleton Place, Manager and staff of Bank of Montreal, Producers Dairy Local No 440, Almonte Producers Dairy Employees Club, Producers Dairy Limited, Almonte Bell Telephone staff, Employees of Almonte Public Utilities Commission, J.L. Erskine and I.G.A. staff, G.M. Hill Motors, members of Happy Hopeful Hunting Club and Blakeney W.A.

Harvey married Ellen Elizabeth Green in 1940. Ellen was born in 1920 in Ontario, Canada; died on 19 Aug 2012 in Almonte, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 23 Aug 2012 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
