Radley, Wm. (Died)

Fatal Accident at Flesherton Station

On Thursday afternoon last, about four o'clock, Mr. Wm. Radley - son of Mr. John Radley, near Maxwell 0 met witha fatal accident while crossing the C.P.R. track at Flesherton Station. He was crossing the R. R. track as before mentioned, but, unfortunately, did not not notice a shunting engine which was rapidly moving along the line towards him. In less time than it takes us to write it, poor Radley was jammed in between the engine and another car, which was standing, on the track, ans so terribly crushed that he died from the injuries sustained a short time afterwards. As soon as the accident happened Dr. Carter f this town was summoned in hot haste, but the patiend was beyond the hope of medical aid, and soon passed quietly away into the other life.

Deceased was quite a young man and leaves a wife and two children - as well as his aged parents and his brothers and sisters - to mourn his loss. It is one of the saddest bereavements we have ever chronicled, and has elicited the deepest and most heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.

The funeral took place on Saturday, and was very largely attended. The remains were interred in the Maxwell cemetery with military honors - the Flesherton volunteer company, under command of Lieut. Field - of which deceased was a member - and the Flesherton Band, attending in a body.

Mr. John Radley, sr. - father of the deceased - desires us to convey through the columns of THE ADVANCE his heartfelt thanks to mr. Alex. Hannah and other Flesherton Station friends for their great kindness to his son at the time of the accident, and also to the Flesherton volunteer company and band for their presence at the performance of the last sad rites.
