• Notes

  Run Over By Street Car Berlin, Ont., March 28 - After having crossed the Preston & Berlin Street Railway bridge at Freeport a young woman was knocked down and fatally injured by a P. & B. car leaving this city at 10.05 last night. The crew stopped the car, and the injured girl was conveyed to the home of Herman Hertel, jun., where she succumbed an hour later without regaining consciousness. Dr. A. Ochs, Preston, was attending the victim when death took place. It was not until this afternoon that the remains were recognized as those of Miss Loretta Shantz, the daughter of Daniel Shantz, a farmer on the Preston road, near Berlin. She had been engaged as a domestic at the farm of Lincoln Hagey, a farmer on the Breslau and Preston road, and had left Berlin in the evening. After doing some shopping she had walked to within a few yards of the road leading to her home when run over by the car. Deceased was twenty-two years of age. Elmira Signet Apr 1 1915 pg 5
