>From The Sydney Morning Herald, 11 March 1930 - BOY FATALLY INJURED. WEST MAITLAND, Monday. At the inquest at West Maitland this afternoon into the death of John McGregor, 7 years, evidence was given that he was riding on a lorry driven by his grandfather, J. P. O'Hearn. The lorry ran over a street hydrant, which was stated to be projecting three inches above the road. The boy lost his balance, and fell to the roadway, a wheel of the vehicle passing along the right side of his body. He died in hospital two days later. The coroner, Mr. D. W. Reed, in recording a verdict of accidental death, said that the hydrant was a source of danger. ------------------------------------------------ Historic Australian Newspapers, 1803 to 1954 http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper Aherns in Australian Records http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ahcrim.htm ------------------------------------------------
