Simcoe, 9 Oct 1928 -- A tragic fatality occurred on the highway
about half a mile south of Teeterville and Windham Centre, when
Mrs. Frank Brondi of Brantford, while riding on a truck driven by
her husband, fell off and was instantly killed. The tragedy
occurred a few minutes after 5 o'clock last evening.
Provincial Inspector Wood went out from Simcoe, and a coroner's
jury was empanelled and viewed the remains at the home of T. H.
Barnes of Teeterville, and adjourned until Monday at 3 p.m., when
the inquiry will be resumed at the township hall at Windham
Centre.
The jurymen are: Rev. B. F. Green, H. McKnight,
Roy Reece, Wm. [Beal], Jas. Dale, T. H. Barnes,
Thos. Wheeler, S. Crowhill, Milton Chapin.
Mrs. Brondi was sitting on the cab seat. There was no door and
no running board on her side. Noise on the rear of the truck
attracted her attention; her husband slowed down for an
investigation and Mrs. Brondi overbalanced and fell out just
before the truck came to a stop. The rear wheel passed over her
body. Death followed in a few minutes.
