Boy Hit By Automobile
Driven By Resident
O f Wilder
Christian Jacob Groot, five-year-
old son of Mr and Mrs Jake Groot,
Nyssa ruarl route, was fatally in­
jured Tuesday morning about 11
o’clock on the Nyssa-Ontario section
of highway 20 near the family ho­
me when struck by an automobile
operated by Harlan Thompson of
route 2, Wilder.
Thompson .said by witnesses to
be driving south rather slowly, sw­
erved his model T Ford to avoid
hitting the boy, but the lad was
carried a few feet and was then
thrown to the berrow-pit.
Christian had been at the Lester
Jamison residence across the high­
way from his house and stopped
at the mail car* of Lloyd Lewis, Ny­
ssa rural carrier. Mr. Lewis gave
the boy the mail and warned him
to watch for care. Christian appar­
ently saw one car coming toward
him from one direction, but failed
to see the Thompson machine app­
roaching from the other side of
him at Gem avenue.
The boy was taken to Ontario by
another motorist, whose name was
not learned. He suffered a skull
fracture, concussion of the brain,
an arm fracture and fracture of bo­
th legs.
Christian was born in Ontario
November 27, 1937 and lived on the
Nyssa ruarl route the remainder of
his life.
Besides his parents, Christian is
survived by his grandmother, Mrs
Ccrena VanZelf of Nyssa.
Funeral services will be held in
the Catholic church in Ontario at
10 a.m. Saturday. Interment will
be in St. John's cemetery at Ont­
ario.

With bright red colored trim,
A happy laughllng boy of two
We were so fond of him.
He next wore denim overalls
And shirt of blue chamlbray
When with his pais on that fall

To school he danced away.
He pledged himself unto the flag

And something wakened in us then
Our loyalty was born.
