Door Crushes Child and a Landmark Elm Dims on Guelph Road
A three year eight month old child of Alax McKinnon at Nassagaweyn near Corwhin and Moffat suffered serious injuries when a heavy bed door fell in a gust of wind. She survived with no broken bones but is paralyzed on one side and faces a long recovery. A two man lift needed to remove the door. Also noted is the near death of a large elm on the Guelph Road, a historic traveler landmark, possibly felled by new stone roads that cut its moisture. An elderly resident recalled a tale of lovers under the tree when he was a child, a memory forever tied to the site.
