• Three-year-old Elliott Finlayson
Simpson, son. of Mr. and Mrs.
• Donald Simpson of Ashfield Town-
ship • was crushed to death in. a
• freak accident about five o'clock
• last Saturday afternoon. The en-
• tire community was stunned and
• saddened by the death ' of the
• youngster, who was one of a 'fiun-
• .
ily of ten children, the third .youn•-
, gest and the seventh son. Donald
is _ _clerk -treasurer, of.Ashfield
• TownSiliP-
. • The Simpson family live on the

was at the "other place" at Kin -

•to the farm located' across from
• MacD'Onald's store •and directly
across from where „the Simpson
_family. Used to. live . at Kintail.
Donald was ploughing and the
• younpters were playing at the,
time of the accident, Apparently
Elliott went into a :log building
•used as- a ,henhouse,. tieing some
explorhig on his own. It is. be-
lieved that while climbing up on
a rack of nests to check for eggs,
that the rack toppled, crushing the
•youngster. underneath,
The rack was about five feet
by eight feet and was of wooden
construction. It was not extremely
heavy, but the 'force of the fall
pinned the youngster. The, rack
had horizontal shelving and ver-
ticle dividers and it is • believed,
that Elliott was using these as
steps when the.accident happened.
The plight of the young bro-
ther was found practically at
•once by the other 'children who
were .plying /outside: They SUM7
moiled• Donald and the child
was removed to. MacDonald's' ac-
