Miss Me - But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey that we all may take, And each must go alone, It's all part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home, When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me but let me go. | 06/05/2008 | |||

| Allen | Arthur James Allen | Sydney Post Record p 8 | 18/03/1940 | LEITCHES CREEK MAN KILLED ON HIGHWAY ARTHUR JAMES ALLEN IS ACCIDENT VICTIM 47 Year Old Leitches Creek Man Dies In Hospital, Norman MacLean Injured In Puzzling Accident North Sydney, March 17 - Arthur James Allen, 47 year old Leitches Creek resident, met his death amidst puzzling circumstances on the North Sydney- Sydney highway about one hundred yards outside the town limits here last night. Norman MacLean, North Sydney resident, is in Hamilton Memorial Hospital with severe head injuries and shaking up suffered in the same accident. Clarence Brown, Victoria, Prince Edward Island, who had been visiting relatives here for the past few days is held in jail here by R.C.M.P. officers pending the result of an inquest which is to be held Wednesday afternoon. Donald J MacDonald, Sydney Mines, proceeding towards North Sydney, about 11:30 o’clock last night, observed the prostrate forms of the two men, Allen and MacLean, on the highway in time to avoid striking them and pulled wide. Brown, following the MacDonald car, apparently failed to observe the men in time and is believed to have struck and driven over them. Whether the men had been struck previously by another motorist and injured or not, or the reason for their presence on the roadway, have not been determined. Brown, immediately stopped his car to investigate and found the two men badly injured. R.C.M.P. officer LeRoy Roach of the North Sydney detachment investigated the accident while the men were immediately removed to Hamilton Memorial hospital by ambulance and automobile. Fractured Skull Allen failed to regain consciousness following his discovery on the road and died a few minutes after reaching hospital. Cause of his death is believed to have been a fractured skull and other head injuries. MacLean is recovering from effects of serious facial and head injuries, but is not considered in any danger. A preliminary hearing was held at Haggett’s Funeral Parlors here this afternoon conducted by Coroner, Chief of Police of Sydney Mines, and the inquest was adjourned until Wednesday afternoon at 3 pm in the North Sydney fire hall. Remains of the unfortunate victim were viewed by members of the jury before adjournment. Jurymen were Walter Robinson, John Fraser, Joseph Reid, Ronald Clarke, Joseph Pickup, Philip Young, George Edwards, Leo Brown, William Murphy, Ernest Ings, Lewis Serrroul and Harry Young. R.C.M.P officer Roach and Chief of police L A Clarck and Captain Harry Brown, father of the driver who is being held, were present at the hearing. Flying officer Kelly of the R.C.A.F. understood to be the only actual eyewitness at the time the Brown car figured in this affair, and other witnesses connected with the case are expected to testify at Wednesday’s inquest. North Sydney, March 17 - Many in the community were saddened by the tragic death of Arthur James Allen, 47, Leitches creek, who was a victim of an as yet unsolved highway accident here Saturday night.
