    • Preston Couple Die In Guelph

      Five people were killed in three accidents in the area yesterday. The dead:

      Allen Hutchinson, 77, and his wife, Gladys, 68, of Preston, killed after their car collided with a dump truck in Guelph; Mrs. George Bullen, 46, of St. Marys, and Clayton Querin, 58, of Guelph, killed in a two-car collision near Tralee, east of Listowel; and
      Eldon Wagner, 42, of Kitchener, killed by a train in London, Ont.

      Car Sideswiped As Truck Swerves

      By Record Staff Writer

      GUELPH-Allen Hutchinson of Preston, a former Mount Forest mayor, and his wife, were killed when their car collided with a dump truck driven by Eugene Gibson, 36, of Guelph.

      It was understood that the Hutchinson car was turning from Highway 24 onto Silvercreek Parkway.

      The truck swerved to avoid a collision, sideswiped the Hutchinson car, partly spilling its load of hot asphalt, and overturned. The Hutchinson car ran into a hydro pole.

      Mrs. Hutchinson was dead on arrival at hospital. She had a broken neck and severe head cuts. Her husband died a short time later from head injuries, a broken arm and broken ribs.

      The truck driver was treated for a cut leg at Guelph Hospital and released.

      INQUEST PLANNED

      An inquest will be held.

      Mr. Hutchinson was mayor of Mount Forest from 1946 to 1949.

      He ran a large bee farming business with his brother Eric until he moved to Preston in 1958. He was president of the Ontario Honey Producers Co-operative in 1941 and a director for many years. He served for some time as an agricultural representative in several places including Simcoe.

      A son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Hutchinson, he was predeceased by his first wife, the former Frankie Allen, in 1954. He married Mrs. Gladys Marie Reist of Preston in 1955 and moved to Preston.

      Surviving are his daughter, Mrs. George (Dorothy) Patrick of Fergus; one brother, Eric of Mount Forest; one sister, Constance Hutchinson of Kitchener, and three grandchildren. Mrs. Hutchinson has a sister, Mona, in Florida.

      Funeral arrangements are not completed.
