Little Child Killed
by
Lady's Motor Car
Peace celebration day will be
remembered as one of aught but joy by Mr. and Mrs. J. Powless of
Wilsonville.
They had gone to Hamilton for the
day, leaving their young daughter, Dorothy Grace, a guest with her aunt in
Brantford.
The little girl was getting ice
cream from the street vendor and did not notice an auto driven by Mrs. A.
Percy approaching.
Mrs. Percy cut down to eight miles
an hour to pass the group of children around the ice cream wagon, but the
little girl, as soon as she received her cone, ran backwards into the
street directly in the path of the auto.
Mrs. Percy swerved, but the fender
caught the child and threw her under the front wheels, which passed over
the child's body, crushing her fatally.
