Trapeze Artist Killed in Chesley Fall During Act
A famed trapeze performer died May 24 in Chesley after a sixty foot pole fall caused by a rubber mouth piece breaking. The performer, last of a family of trapeze artists, had appeared last year in Acton. The accident followed a routine that the audience favored. A fire scare at Erin near Acton narrowly damaged a farm home, quickly extinguished by neighbors. Local officers and volunteers aided. The Milton area elected new officials for the Halon Musical Festival Association, with Acton members among attendees. The Dublin Branch Women’s Institute held May meetings with programs by junior girls and conferring of new captains. A farewell sermon marked forty years of ministry for Rev. Nell D. Wmekhinnon at Norval and Mount Bleazant United Churches as he plans retirement in England.
