WAS HELPING BROTHER

What would have otherwise been a Joyous Christmas was marred yesterday thru tragedy which entered into the home of one Kitchener family. While helping his brother Melvin deliver milk to customers of Silverwood's Kitchener Dairy. Limited. Norman Voegtle of South Queen street was instantly killed when the sleigh from which he was working turned over crushing him to almost instant death. Five little children are fatherless as a result.

Upon reaching a spot almost in front of the House of Refuge on Frederick street about 11.30 o'clock, the sleigh was parked on the street, one side being raised. Having completed a call.
