Newspaper Clipping - In Memory of - Woods
In loving memory of my dear mother, Agnes (Nessie) , who died on may 9, 1982. One year has passed since that sad day, The one we loved was called away, The blow was hard, the shock severe, To part with one we loved so dear. Inserted by Margaret, John, Grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Woods:
In memory of my dear mother, who died May 9, 1982; also my dear dad, who died Dec. 3, 1980.

Newspaper Article: Dunfermline Journal January 30 1926 pg 5
TWO CROSSGATES PEOPLE INJURED:
Two accidents involving injuries to two persons resident in Crossgates occurred last Saturday. In the early morning while an old residenter named Andrew Wilkie, Main Street, was procedding to Inverkeithing, he was knocked down by a motor car and sustained injuries to his head. He was removed home and medically attended to.***
Another accident with more serious results occurred in the evening. Thomas Sneddon, who is employed by the Co-operative Society at Dunfermline and who resides with his parents in Dunfermline Road, was proceeding home on the top of a train car from Dunfermline, when at a part of the road, hear the West of Fife Laundry, he was struck on the head by the trolley. After medical aid had been summoned, he was removed to Dunfermline and West Fife Hospital suffering from head injuries.
****
It seems Gt Grandfather Andrew never recovered from his accident and within 2 weeks was hospitalized and died. I have been told he was walking to the Fair or Garden Fair at Inverkeithing as he was going to judge some of the competitions, but unfortunately the plan never came to fruition due to the accident.

I wonder if there were charges to the driver of the motor vehicle or was Gt Grampa in the wrong place at the wrong time. hw
