Shocking Level Crossing Tragedy - What is probably the most shocking tragedy in the history of the village, occurred about six o'clock Monday night, when the buggy in which Mrs. L. D. Hubbell and her two little children, Hannah and Eloy, were riding, was struck by the Grand Trunk Eastbound flyer on the crossing near the station with appalling results. Mrs. Hubbell and little Eloy were killed and Hannah badly injured.
Mrs. Hubbell and her two children had been spending the day with Mrs. Hubbell's sister, near Croton, and were returning home about 6 o'clock. Having been away all day picking cherries and playing around, the tired children had fallen asleep during the ten mile drive home, and Mrs. Hubbell perhaps feeling perfectly safe behind the old family driving horse, drove right up on to the tracks with the top of the buggy up and the sides on, apparently perfectly unconscious that the "Limited" was bearing down upon her at the rate of a mile a minute. The buggy was struck fairly between the wheels, and the occupants thrown up on the front of the engine with the top of the buggy. Several people witnessed the tragedy and one man, Nelson Pray, testified at the inquest that he tried in vain to attract their attention.
The train was brought to a standstill and backed into the station. Willing hands tenderly removed the injured woman and little children from the engine and Drs. Fraser and Stewart were hastily summoned. Mr. Hubbell was hurriedly sent for but by the time he arrived Mrs. Hubbell was breathing her last, and little Eloy was also beyond human aid, although still breathing. Many automobiles were already on the scene and the two children and the doctors were quickly transferred to Mr. Hubbell's home about a hundred yards away. Here the little boy was left in the care of Mrs. D. E. Wallace, who was formerly a nurse, and the doctors devoted their attention to the little girl. A careful examination revealed a badly fractured leg. Hannah was still unconscious and moaning, but the doctors held out bright hopes for her recovery and she was made as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. Next morning the leg was set and all will be glad to hear that she is improving favorably. The little boy lived until about half past seven, but never regained consciousness.
The news of the tragedy quickly spread and cast a gloom over the whole community. Mr. and Mrs. Hubbell were both well liked in the village and the little children were also known to nearly every one, having ridden so often with their father on his milk wagon. That two of the family should be hurried to eternity without a moment's warning, and a third severly injured, seemed almost incredible. Mrs. Hubbell was a quiet, kind-hearted woman, devoted to her husband and family, and the heartfelt sympathy of everyone went out to the stricken husband and father in his tragic sorrow. Mrs. Hubbell was 35 years of age, Hannah in 11, and Eloy was six. Besides the bereaved husband and Hannah, Mrs. Hubbell leaves to mourn the loss of a loving mother Neil, a little boy of four. Mrs. Hubbell is also survived by four sisters and two brothers: Mrs. (Dr.) Leitch, of Hamilton, Mrs. McGilvery, of Hamilton, Mrs. Durdle, St. Thomas, Miss Teresa McAgy at home; Henry of Solon, Ohio, and John at home.
The body of the late Mrs. Hubbell was moved to Henry & Co's undertaking parlors during the evening, and an inquest held at 8:30 before Coroner Dr. Fraser. Evidence was given by Constable O'Neal and Nelson Pray, and an adjournment then made to next Monday evening. The jurors are Frank M. Syer, foreman; John Howat, W. R. Ferguson, Geo. Dickson, Wm. Christner, Seth Crowell, John Daly and Barney Featherston.
The force with which the train hit the buggy must have been terrific as the vehicle was badly shattered and the horse which was thrown fifty feet down the road killed instantly. The double funeral takes place this afternoon. Service will be conducted at 3 o'clock by Rev. Dr. Boyd, and interment will take place in the Mayhew cemetery.

Sad Double Funeral - One of the saddest events that this community has ever been called upon to witness, took place last Thursday afternoon, when relatives, friends and acquaintances from every direction, gathered at the Presbyterian church to pay their last tribute of respect to the late Mrs. Cora Hubbell and her little son Eloy.
The service was is charge of the Rev. Dr. Boyd, who during an inspiring and helpful sermon from the text, "I am the resurrection and the life," referred in touching terms to the devotion and faithfulness of the late Mrs. Hubbell to her family and home, and added comforting words of sympathy and hope to the bereaved ones. He was assisted in the service by Revs. T. T. George, J. Tully and Mr. Zieman. The choir sang several hymns and W. R. Davies sang "He wipes the Tear From Every Eye."
The pall-bearers for Mrs. Hubbell were Messrs. C. W. Currie, J. A. Stewart, J. A. Pollock, C. McCall, G. Chadd and J. Richardson. Little Eloy's casket was carried by Keith Stewart, Ed. Watts, Wilfrid McKenzie and Russell Edsall. The interment took place in the Mayhew cemetery, there being about 150 vehicles in the cortege.
