Cecil with the other little folk from the shelter in company with Mr Morphy had gone out for their daily walk and had crossed to a field opposite where they spent many happy times together this summer, always being in the care of the latter. An oak tree was standing close by and the little fellow climbed up to a branch, which was about eight or ten feet from the ground to gather some acorns. In a short time he told some of his companions near at hand what he was getting dizzy and within a few moments he had fallen from the tree to the ground. The little boy picked himself up and with Mr Morphy and his companions walked home, apparently in a semi-conscious condition. Mrs Morphy, who had been down town had returned home a short time before the accident and on seeing the boy's condition, picked him up and carried him into the house where she laid him down and immediately called medical aid. Cecil becoming unconscious in the meantime and remaining so until the end, death resulting from a fracture at the base of the skull. Master Cecil was born in Carleton Place on December 20, 1920. He was a son of Mr Ernest Cummings of Carleton Place and the late Mrs Cummings. Some time after the death of his mother the boy was adopted by Mr and Mrs William Deemer who regarded him as their own son. Following the death of Mrs Deemer several years ago, the child was placed in the shelter, in the care Mrs Morphy. He is survived by his father, Mr Ernest Cummings, two sisters and one brother. Mr Deemer also survive. The funeral will take place on Wednesday afternoon from the Children's Shelter, William street, to the Auld Kirk cemetery, Almonte. The service will be held at 2 o'clock.
