Gordon Hallman, Reeve Of Wilmot, Killed By Falling Tree

Mr. Gordon B. Hallman, reeve of Wilmot Township, was fatally injured about 11.30 a. m. when he was struck by a falling tree while directing the cutting timber in the bush of Max Lass, the former Geo, A. Miller property, east of Haysville,. He suffered a broken back, a broken leg and internal injuries and died about half an hour after the accident. The tree had become lodged against another tree and when it suddenly became free it caught Mr. Hallman before he could make a move and pinned him underneath.

Coroner Dr. T. B. Feick of New Hamburg was called but Mr. Hallman died a few minutes after his arrival. An ambulance was sent from the K-W Hospital and reached the scene shortly after. Dr. Feick deemed an inquest not necessary.

The late Mr. Hallman operated a saw mill about five miles east of the accident and had bought the bush last winter to remove the timber.

Mr. Hallman was born at New Dundee, a son of the late. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob C. Hallman. He was in his 56th year. Mr. Hallman was prominent in public and church affairs. As reeve of Wilmot he was in line for the wardenship of Waterloo County next year. He entered municipal life as deputy-reeve in 1941 since which time he was also a member of the Waterloo County Council. He was this year's chairman of the Roads and Bridges Committee and was also chairman of the Reforestation Committee and the House of Refuge Board and also a member of the board of directors of the North Waterloo Farmer's Mutual Fire Insurance Co., of which he was president last year.

Mr. Hallman was a member of the United Brethren Church, New Dundee, a member of the board of trustees, teacher of the junior Bible Class and a member of the council of administration of the Ontario Conference of the United Brethren in Christ Church, and was widely known and esteemed. His tragic death is deeply deplored.

The accident victim was twice married. His first wife, May Cas-\\sel, died in 1920, and in 1931, he married Essie Hallman, who survives him with two sons, Willard, Walters Falls, Ont., Robert, at home; four daughters, Alice, Kitchener, Jean and Kathryn, at home and Mrs. Rothan (Helen) Hawthorne, St. Catharines; and one sister, Mrs. A. E. Bean, New Hamburg.
