The funeral took place to Utica Cemetery on Tuesday, April 25, 1944, services being conducted at New Toronto United Church by Rev. Mr. Dyer and at the graveside by Rev, Mr, Eyre, of Uxbridge. The late Clara May Sandison was born in Uxbridge Township and when still a young girl the family moved to Utica where they have since resided. She was a daughter of Mrs, Sandison and the late William Sandison and in 1930 married John William (Red) Ab: bott. They went to New Toronto where they have resided for the past 14 years where her. husband has been connected with the New Toronto Pub- lic Utilities Commission.

It v argued by the defense that the parents" suffered mental anguish as a result of the unfortunate occur- rence, It is, however, difficult to reconcile this statement with their early behaviour. It may have been a case of "crocodile tears", Nothing they can say now can atone for their lack-4f care, and bring their childrén back to life, Negligent parents are happily in Ny J of Cadmus, celebrated her 96th birth- day on April 26th.
