DORIS ALLEN KILLED
AT ROBERTS SAWMILL

Little Doris, the three year old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Allen
was instantly killed this noon at the
Roberts sawmill, where she had gone
in company with her mother and
nurse, to meet Mr. Allen who is en-
ployed at the mill. The accident oc-
cured just as the noon wmstle blew.
1t seems hat the little girl left the
side OF her mother and walked over
to pile of ties that was about aS
higii as her head, and tried to climb
up on them. AS soon as she pulled
on them the pile fell over on top OF
her, the back of her head striking on
a tie as she fell. and the pile of ties
falling on top of her, killing her In
stantly. The mother and nurse, as
well as men from the mill, at once
ran to render her aid, but she was
dead.
Doris was a pretty Little flaXen
haired Miss who quickly won her way
to the hearts of all who knew her, and
the blow of her tragic death falls
doubly hard on the mother who just
recently returned from the hospital
where she underwent an operation,
and is still under the care Of a
nurse.
The heartfelt sympathy of the peo-
pie Of Toledo goes out to the sorrow
ing family in their sad bereavement.
