KILLED AT 8ENERYN
Monday afternoon of last week the
community was shocked to learn that
Alexander Fraser, who has been making
his home with his niece, Miss Fraser, who
owns the store at Henfryn, was instantly
killed by the afternoon express. He was
going over to the station house expecting
to meet a relative supposed to be coming
by train.
Henfryn is only a st.,pping place, it
seems, when passengers are desirous of
going to or leaving that point, as far as
that train is concerned. There being
none such Monday express did not stop
and Mr. Fraser was struck at the crossing.
He was thrown about 50 feet and was
instantly killed, In addition to the
crushing of his skull, his ribs on left side
was broken and his legs badly damaged.
Train came to a standstill as quickly as
possible and then backed up to tb% sten
of the accident.
Coroner Dr. Milne, of Blyth, was com-
municated with, and an inquest was
ordered for that evening at Henfryn.
The body was viewed, a medical report
ordered and the inquest adjourned to the
Town Hall, Brussels, next Monday.
Mr. Fraser, who was unmarried, was
78 years of age but quite active. The
funeral took place Wednesday afternoon
from the home of his niece, Mrs. Robt.
Shaw, Bluevale, burial being made in
Wingham cemetery.
