A lightly edited partial transcription of the Local Items of Interest column on page 7 of the 
19 Dec 1918 issue of Simcoe Reformer newspaper.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hammond received bad news from Hamilton last week.

Their eldest son, Ernest, having been kicked about the head by a horse and becoming unconscious, which state lasted for some days.

On Monday afternoon however, he recognized his mother and wife.

Mr. and Mrs. Hammond have, during the past few months, been singled out for sorrow -- one son having been reported missing, and another died of wounds. 

A third son has been in hospital in England, and still another, Stanley, was returned invalided last summer.
