Mr. Cottreau went to drive the LeBlancs to Halifax to see their son, James, age 14, who was gravely ill in a hospital in that city. It was snowing a bit and the roads were slippery that morning. In any case, when he arrived at Mount Uniacke, not far from Windsor, Mr. Cottreau encountered a big truck coming against him. He lost control of his car and the two vehicles collided head-on, the big truck crushing the small car. Ernest, Louis and his wife were killed on the spot. Another passenger, Bertha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. LeBlanc, was injured but not fatally. (She was first admitted to Payzant Hospital in Windsor, but now she is in Yarmouth Hospital.) Ernest was the son of Mrs. Hilda Cottreau and the late Frank Cottreau, Upper Wedgeport. He leaves three brothers, William and Raymond at home, and Michael of Halifax. Louis was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Armice LeBlanc, Upper Wedgeport. He leaves three sisters, Mrs. Pierre Boudreau, Adelaide, of Wedgeport; Mrs. John Cottreau, Lucie, of Wedgeport; Mrs. Pierre Valerie Morris, Rita, of Kentville; a brother, Remi, of Lunenburg. Mrs. LeBlanc, born Josephine Doucet, was originally from Lower West Pubnico. The LeBlancs leave five children, Mrs. Ralph Davis, Marcella, of Yarmouth; Phyllis, Bertha, James and Albert, all of Wedgeport. The funeral for the three victims was held in Wedgeport this morning, at 9 o’clock. Obituary courtesy of Diane.
