"Miss Alida Hill, of 160 Macphedson Ave., Toronto, was critically injured in an auto accident Saturday afternoon when the car in which she was a passenger failed to negotiate the curve at the foot of Holland Landing hill, climbed an embankment and then rolled on the shoulder of the road. The driver of the car, Miss Dora Pepler, 19 Kendall Ave., Toronto, escaped injuries. The injured woman was removed to York County Hospital, Newmarket, where it was found necessary to amputate her right arm. She also suffered from shock. The car is badly wrecked."
Woman killed in accident on Highway 11. One woman is dead and three others are in hospital after a Saturday morning accident at Highway 11 and Highway 88. Nancy Theodoru of Toronto was a passenger in the car driven by her husband George. She was killed when the car collided with a pick up truck, Bradford OPP report. The truck was driven by Frank Anzil, of Klienburg [sic]. His wife Tina was a passenger. The three people are in serious condition in hospital. Bradford Fire department responded to the emergency call and used the "jaws of life" to release Mr. Theodoru from behind the steering wheel. It was the first time the equipment has been used, other than in practises [sic], since the money to purchase it was donated by the Lions and the Rotary Clubs about a year ago. Mr. Anzil used to own what was known as the Anzil plaza in Bradford, on the north side of Holland Street West. Charges are pending in the incident.
W.L. Campbell opened the store around 1891. It was located at 10 Holland St. West. He was the son of William Campbell, grain dealer, and brother of Dr. L.H. Campbell. He was born in Bradford. W.L. attended the Ontario College of Pharmacy, in Toronto, and graduated in 1891, winning the College medal for general proficiency. He was also an expert lacrosse player, until a knee injury kept him from playing. He then took over duties as the team's secretary-treasurer, and the team has since won two provincial championships and one inter-championship. He is also a member of the gun club.
