    • Level Crossing Crash Takes Three Lives

      A west-bound Grand River Railway freight train of 15 cars struck an automobile at a level crossing near the Freeport Sanatorium Sunday afternoon.

      Simon Bender, 62, and his wife 59, of St. Clements, were killed when the car was struck, and Lucy Kuntz, 13, died soon after being
      taken to hospital. The car itself was carried 500 ft. by the train. Mrs. Peter Kuntz, a sister of Mrs. Bender, Mrs. Michael Prokopowicz, daughter of Mrs. Kuntz and driver of the vehicle, were injured.
