Victims of Accident
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
House, Damaged
The Windsor Star, December 5,
featured the picture' of a house,
damage to which was estimated
at more than $1,000 when it was
rammed by a car on Saturday
night. Driver of the ear, Walter
Richards, was unable to appear
in count that day to face a charge
of drunk driving. He was re-
• covering from minor injuries re-
ceived in the crash. The house,
situated at 797 Huron Line, at
the corner of Felix Ave., is own -
led by Charles Widcombe.
The Star also carried the fol-
lowi,ng report; "An elderly couple
escaped injury and possible death
Saturday night because they were
• at the death bed of their son,
Not until hours after their son
died did Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Wideombe, 797 Huron Line, find
their home badly damaged by a
ear.
When the Widcorehes arrived
home early Sunday morning, they
found the side of the house caved
in, furniture splintered and they
were uanble to put on a fire to
keep warm.
Mr. Widcombe looked partic-
ularly at a new couch in the
front room. "We just bought
that couch and I usually have a
nap on it in the evening. le we
had been in the house, I guess
I would have died, too." The
couch was crushed against the
wall. A piano was moved four
feet up against a stove and the
stove could not be lighted for
fear the piano caught fire.
"My wife likely would have
been badly hurt or killed because
she usually sits in a chair near
where the ear hit," Mr. Widcombe
said.
"The ear mat have hit the
house about nine o'clock because
our eight-day clock which was
smashed stopped at that time,"
he said. "That was just three
hours before my son died at one
minute after midnight.'
"It's an awful thing to happen
on top of his death," he said.
"We are both over 70 and the
shock is going to be difficult for
my wife to stand."
"It's a hard thing to leave a
hospital when your son has died
and then find your home no place
to stay'," he said.
Damage to the house amounted
to over $1,000 and Mr. and Mrs.
Widcombe had to seek shelter at
another house for the night."
Mr. and Mrs. Widcombe were
residents of Bayfield for 17 years
and have many warm friends
here who sympathize with them
n this unfortunate accident.
