ONTARIO THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28th, 1935 HTS father, the late Charles Kirkland, came to Canada from Ireland and his mother was a native of this district. He was married on Oct. 14th, 1908, to Elsie Monro, a native of Alness, Scotland, who along with one daughter Mary (Mrs. Duncan Kerr) mourn the passing of a loving husband and father. The funeral of the late John Kirk'- land was held from Wright and Tay- lor’s funeral home last Saturday afternoon and was largely attended by friends and relatives. The late Mr. Kirkland passed away very sudâ€" denly while visiting at a neighbor’s home Thursday evening, and the news of his death came as a great shock to his many friends. He was in his seventyâ€"third year and was: the son of the late Charles Kirkland and Mary Hislop. Born on the second concession of Vaughan he lived his entire life in the district and farmed near Richmond Hill until five years ago when he retired to the village. Both victims, badly crush-ed, had been killed instantly, however, and the doctor ordered their removal to Wright and Taylor’s undertaking par- lors in Richmond Hill. The car, when disentangl-ed from the locomotive, was but a, mass of debris. Both front tires and One headlight were intact, but the rest was just scrap iron. The hood was twisted and torn off; only a few fragments of glass remained; the underbody was shattergd and the rear Wheels were just spindles with a. few fragments of inner tube wrapped around them. The body was twisted to such an extent that the steering wheel projected almost straight out through the left-hand door. “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Charity” But for Charles Mathews, who lives nearby and who saw the Whole 1accident, the train might have kept right on to Toronto. Mr. Mathews was near the tracks, 150 feet south of the crossing. Looking up when he heard the train whistle, he watched horror-stricken while car and train approached the crossing. When the crash came he ran towards the tracks, shouting and yelling to stop. Men in the caboose heard him, and pulled the emergency cord, but the rear of the long train was well past the crossing before it was brought to a jolting stop. Seven hundred and fifty feet from the crossing Mrs. Miller’s body was hurled clear, landing near the right- ofâ€"way fence, over 30 feet from the tracks. Mr. Miller’s body remained The train crew, which was bring- ing the heavy freight from Allandale to Toronto, will appear at the inquest. They are Conductor E. Kightley, of Barrie; Engineer J. Ligear, of Allan- dale; Fireman W. Gibson, of Toronto; and Brakemen C. Heart and W. K. Anderson, of Mimico. Striking the car just behind the right front wheel, the locomotive picked it up cleanly without the train crew even being aware of it. Jammed against the .engine, the car, torn and twisted, was carried along the tracks for nearly a mile. The accident occurred at 9.50 am. where the C.N.R. tracks emss No. 7 Highway just east of Yonge Street, beside therJail Farm. The car was going west and the train, a heavily loaded freight, was also going down grade, and the impact was terrific. jammed stopped. Mr. Miller was- formerly president of the Canadian National Exhibition, and was a stock breeder on interna- tional repute. Mrs. Miller was widely known in society both in Toronto and in the Stouffvilleâ€"Markham district and throughout York County. Their car carried for over a mile on the front of a locomotive, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miller, Stouffville, were killed instantly in a level crossing accident at Langstaff on Sunday.

After the taking of a silver col- lection, the meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem. The outstanding quality of the speaker’s address was his ability in adopting language easily understood by the ordinary person. Dr. Lillian Langstaff moved a. vote of thanks to Dr. Jackson and also to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Jones and others assisting on the program. Then followed Dr. Jackson’s in- structive and entertaining talk. Not only was he able, by his easy manner and light humor, to hold his adult listeners, but he also kept the children attentive throughout. The main part of Dr. Jackson’s discourse consisted in the means taken to prevent the spread of communicable diseases, and- the part played therein by incipient cases, convalescents, “carriers” and the lower forms of animal life. The speaker of the evening was ably introduced by our own M.0.H., Dr. J. P. Wilson. Dr. Wilson spoke of the splendid work which had been done in recent years by the health de- partment of the city of Toronto in reducing the number of cases of com- municable diseases, and the particular part played by Dr. Jackson in this wonderful work. tive address and a splendid program. There were about one hundred and fifty present which, while a good sized audience, was not large or as representative of the community as it should have been, taking into con- sideration that the services of as prominent a speaker as Dr. Jackson had been specially secured. It was noted that representatives of local public bodies in municipal affairs who were tendered special invitations were conspicuous by their absence. Mrs. Lester Jones, L.T.C.M., rend- ered two delightful solos in her usual pleasing voice, accompanied on the violin and piano by Mr. and Mrs. Carl Jones of Toronto. The program was greatly enhanced by the numbers rendered by the school choir, who showed particularly well how the children of the school are responding to the splendid in- struction in music given by Miss Jean Middleton. The presentation of entrance cer- tificates by Mr. W. Scott and Field Day Trophies by Mr. D. Frisby were items which particularly concerned the children. Dr. Gordon P. Jackson, M.0.H. for the City of Toronto, was the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Richmond Hill Home and School Club held in the High School “g'ym” Tues- day evening.
