No more to see him here;
But yet we're glad if God saw best,
To end his troubles and give him rest,
In heaven to reign with angels fair,
May our names too be written there."

Three Meet Death in Level Crossing Accident

Abraham Kipfer, His Son and Son-In-Law Killed At Kitchener

Stark, grim tragedy entered the home of a prominent farmer of this district when Abraham Kipfer, his 12 year old son, Oliver, and his son-in-law, Irvin Zehr, aged 25, were hurled into eternity at the Lancaster street C. N. R. crossing at Kitchener, the scene of so many fatal accidents in the past few years.

The three had gone to attend the Kitchener Saturday market and thereafter were, it is believed, delivering farm produce for Christmas to private customers when the tragedy occurred. As all three are dead, little information can be gathered as to why the accident occurred.

The car in which they were driving was hit by the passenger train, known locally as the 10.40 flyer, as this train was approaching Kitchener from Toronto. The car was hurled about fifty feet and Mr. Kipfer was apparently instantly killed. His son and son-in-law were rushed to the hospital, but died without regaining consciousness. The three bodies were brought to Becker's funeral parlor here and were later removed to the home of Mr. Kipfer, south of New Hamburg. The three victims of this fatal accident were laid to rest side by side in the 16th line East Zorra Amish-Mennonite cemetery on Wednesday forenoon. Services were held in the church adjoining. This tragic event has cast a gloom over this community and the deepest sympathy goes out to the bereaved family

The late Mr. Kipfer was aged 50 years, 1 month and 21 days. He was born in Mornington Township near Poole, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Kipfer. After his marriage to Veronica Roth he resided for a short time in South Easthope and for the past twenty-five years occupied the farm known as the back Kerr farm on the 2nd concession of South Wilmot, about three miles south of New Hamburg. Besides his bereaved widow he leaves six children, namely, Mrs. Gideon Boshart, of South Easthope, Mrs. Irvin Zehr, widow of one of the accident victims, also of South Easthope and Nurias, Elmer, Mabel and Dorothy at home.

Irvin Zehr was 25 years of age last Friday and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob H. Zehr, who reside near the 16th line East Zorra Church where the victims of this sad accident were laid to rest. The boy, Oliver Gordon Kipfer was aged 12 years, 9 months and 4 days and was the third youngest member of the family.
