F. Holland, 51 Bridgeport road, Waterloo, was killed, probably instantly, when struck by a car near his home shortly before 8 o'clock last night. The motor fatality, Acting Chief of Police El C. Morean said today, is the first one of a Waterloo child since June, 1934, when Dolores Pache, four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Pache, Ezra avenue, was struck by an auto on King atreet north, and died of injuries. The last fatal street accident in Kitchener involving a child was four years ago this month, according to Chief of Police Wm. Hodgson's records. Severe Head Injuries While playing with other children on the street, Lloyd was crossing from the west to the east side of Bridgeport road when struck by the car of Samuel Meyers of St. Clements, proceeding north. The mishap occurred just south of the driveway to his home. Apparently struck by the front of the car, probably the right front fender. the child suffered terrible head injuries, which are believed to have caused instant death. The injuries comprised a fracture of the skull, a depressed fracture on the left side of the head, a broken jaw and a broken nose. There were no fractures of the limbs. Dr. Wm. Geiger, was called and the boy was rushed to the Kitchener-Waterloo hospital. He was dead upon arrival. Acting Chief of Police Moreau, who investigated, said no charges had been laid against the driver. Coroner Dr. A. L. Wellman stated an inquest would be held at the Waterloo Town Hall Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. No Playgrounds The child is survived by his parents, one brother and three sisters, Douglas 8, Reta, 14, Cavell, 10 and Dorothy 6. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2.30 from the Letter. and Dreisinger Funeral chapel, Waterloo, to Waterloo Mount Hope cemetery for interment. The remains will rest at the chapel until the time of the funeral. Following the accident, the father was bitterly reproachful of the inadequacy of playground facilities in Waterloo for which he had appealed to council previously for the safety of children, reflecting that his own son had now been a victim. "I've nothing against the driver," he said. --Waterloo Region Record, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, September 10, 1936 Page 3 | |

That was the reason, friends said today, Swasey hanged himself with Luke's leash from a water pipe in the cellar of his basement apartment in the Back Bay where he was found last night. Since childhood, Swasey's sight was impaired. Despite his handicap Swasey, 50, was brilliant and ambitious. Six months ago friends arranged for Swasey to go to Morristown, N. J., to train for use of a "seeing eye" dog. The dog was Luke, and in the ensuing months Swasey came to depend on him. But Luke began to snap at passersby when he walked with his master. A month ago Luke was [sent back to Morristown. Swasey was left alone in his apartment, unable to leave except on the arm of friends who came too seldom. Finally the loneliness became too great. Then he committed suicide. --The Berkshire Eagle, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, August 26, 1944 Page 1 | |
