Mrs Cannon Died Shortly After Accident. Lauriault's Hill, near Kingsmere, which is considered to be one of the most dangerous pieces of highway in the Gatineau district, and which has witnessed many fatal accidents in recent years, claimed another victim on Sunday, when Mrs William Cannon, of Almonte, motoring with her husband and a nephew. Mr Cephas Tosh, sustained such injuries that she died shortly after the automobile in which she was a passenger turned over in negotiating a bad turn over in negotiating a bad turn on the hill. The accident occurred about 12.20 in the afternoon after Mr. Tosh who did not know the district, had taken the wrong road, and, upon driving down the steep hill, was unable to brake his car, which he managed to keep to the roadway until negotiating the last turn, almost at right angles, where the car swerved into the ditch and turned over. Mrs Cannon, who was 70 years of age, was thrown out, and in falling sustained a fracture of the skull and internal injuries which resulted in her death and hour later, while Gauthier's ambulance from Hull was en route to take her to the hospital. Mr Tosh, who was driving the car, and Mr. Cannon, escaped other injury than a few bruises and scratches. Following the accident, Mr. Tosh succeeded in telephoning in to the city from a farm house close by, and Dr. Andrew Davies rushed to the scene in his car, but found, on his arrival, that the injured woman was beyond earthly assistance, and she died before the ambulance arrived. Took Wrong Road With her nephew, Mr. Cephas Tosh, Mrs Cannon, accompanied by her husband, left their home early on Sunday morning with the intention of visiting Col. Edward's fox farm near Meach lake where her nephew Mr. William Tosh is the manager. The trip was uneventful, until after the party had motored out as far as Chelsea, where Mr. Tosh, instead of taking the main road leading to Meach Lake, made a mistake and struck the dangerous hill known as Lauriault's. Even then he figured that he would have been able to negotiate the dangerous stretch of highway in safety, but something went wrong with the brakes, after he had gone about half its length, and the car then ran wild and overturned when safety had almost been reached. The remains of the late Mrs Cannon were removed to Gauthier's undertaking parlours at Hull, where they were viewed by coroner Dr. J.E. Isabelle, of Hull, who, after inquiring into the circumstances, decided that an inquest would not be held. The body of Mrs Cannon accompanied by her husband and nephew, was taken on the Soo train Sunday evening to Almonte. The late Mrs Cannon, who was in her seventieth year, was a very well-known residence of Ramsay township, and had lived for many years in the town of Almonte, where the news of her sudden death was received with much regret. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, and is survived, in addition to her husband, by a brother, Mr. Thomas Tosh, of Pakenham, and a half sister, Mrs William Coxford, of Almonte, and three sisters, Mrs Ellen Plant, Ottawa, Mrs J. Haber of Jersey City, and Mrs J.H. Buchanan, of Winnipeg.
