• Notes

  Fatal accident to an Orpington man The death of a young married man, William Albert Hawes, who until a few years since lived in Anglesea Road, Orpington, and was well known in the Cray Valley District, occured at Bishop Stortford through a motor accident. Mr Hawes, who was married five years ago to Miss Lillian Caroline Dutton, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs J Dutton of St Pauls Cray, had been living with his wife at Manor Park, East Ham, where he had started for himself in a cycle business. On Sunday Mr Hawes, who learned his trade under Mr Hawes of Wellington Road, Orpington, was riding a motorcycle in company with a friend named Cook who rode an ordinary machine in the neighbourhood of Epping and Bishop Stortford. They were on the homeward journey to Manor Park, and were about 13 miles from home. As they were in the act of passing a motor bus, a motorcycle and car came across the road from behind the bus with the object of passing at the same moment as Mr Hawes and his friend were doing so. A collision at once occured and Mr Hawes was dashed from his machine onto the road and under the motor bus, which passed over him. It was at once revealed that he had been very seriously injured and he was taken to Epping Cottage Hospital. The accident occurred at midday and Mr Hawes died at 4 o'clock the same afternoon. He sustained a broken arm and severe internal and other injuries. An inquest was held on Monday when a verdict of accidental death was returned. Widespread sympathy is expressed for Mrs Dutton and her parents who live at St Pauls Cray. The deceased leaves two little children. District Times, Friday April 11, 1913
