 Newspaper Article on inquest held into the death of Gerald Veysey and Stewart Durling. No date, but would have been held in 1965, probably later that month of January or early February. It reads: An inquest into the traffic deaths of Gerald Veysey of Fosterville and Stewart Durling of Canterbury was held this past Friday evening at the Town Hall in Woodstock. After receiving their final instructions from Coroner Jasper Blake, the jury weighed the evidence for an hour and a half before reaching its verdict.They found that Stewart Durling and Gerald Veysey met death while operating a motor vehicle which was in collision with another vehicle driven by Father Rev F.J. MacDonald, at 4:15 pm January 19 on old route number 2 where the trans Canada portion of the highway ends just north of Thompkins canteen.Cause: "Stewart Durling and Gerald Veysey met their death by operating a motor vehicle while they were under the influence of alcohol, beyond a doubt, according to RCMP lab reports, but the actual cause of the accident is unknown to us." The jury recommended that "any person having knowledge of any other person operating a vehicle or car while under the influence of liquor, should take necessary steps to have this person removed from the highway for the safety of all persons concerned." 
The inquest first assembled at the Carleton Memorial Hospital to hear from Rev Father MacDonald who has been a patient there since the accident. He said that he was traveling north in his own lane at about 45 mph in his Pontiac and that the car approaching him traveling south was just like any other car when suddenly it began to wobble or fishtail and then moved into his lane. Following his testimony the jury then moved to the Town Hall to hear from the other witnesses. Constable Doug Horn of the RCMP was the first called by Paul Maddox. (Note:- Doug retired from the RCMP in 1977 and took over policing duties in Hartland that same year, retiring for good in 1997.) He told the inquest that he and Dr. M.E. Margison traveled to the scene which he described as a wide sweeping curve. No visible skid marks at the scene, he said, and the road was good. The Pontiac had been struck on the left front, and the Consul had also been hit on the left front, with bits of wreckage scattered all about.Dr Margison was next to testify. He told of arriving at the scene and checking the condition of the lone occupant of the Pointiac. While he was doing this someone at the scene told him one of the men in the other car was dying so he went over but found that both men were dead. Dr Margison gave the reason for death to both men as multiple skull fractures and undetermined internal injuries. He testified Durling was under the wheel. He could not ascertain whether death was instant or not. After arriving back at the hospital he was asked to take blood samples of the two dead men which were given to Const. Horn and sent to the RCMP lab in Sackville. He said he did not take a blood test from Father MacDonald. Dr Margison said he could not say what effects a certain amount of alcohol would have on an individual. When asked what effect .37 per cent blood-alcohol would have, he read from the Lab report which said such a level acts as a depressant and an average person is usually in stuporous condition. The report indicated Durling's blood-alcohol was .37 and Veysey's at 1.3. (note:- the legal limit is .08. Durling was more than 4 times the legal limit. Given the frequency with which Gerald indulged, his reading would scarcely be noticeable by his actions. Unfortunately, Durling was driving.) 
Next to testify was Rev Onden Stairs of Augusta, Maine. He told the hearing that while traveling south on the highway he overtook a small car which attracted his attention, being driven in an erratic way. After following for a short distance, he sounded his horn and passed. Soon after he heard a roar behind, and the car was following close to his rear bumper. He accelerated and drew away rapidly. He said that a dark colored car traveling north in a usual manner went by him and Rev Stairs said he then looked in his rear view mirror to see how "he will make out". He said he saw flying debris, and pulled his car to a stop and went back to investigate.Bruce William Carr was then called upon, and he reported that he saw a car pass where he was sliding hear his home on the river road. The car had two men in it and they were passing a bottle back and forth.Harold Hatfield of Woodstock then told of being at Joe Griffith's garage at about 4 pm and talked to During there. He said he was horsing around as usual but did not see him drink anything. The other man with Durling had a glass with a shite liquid in it, he said. Mr Hatfield said that Durling was driving as the two left the garage and he drove all right.Joe Griffith said that two men were at the garage for about a half hour and he did not see them drinking. They had inquired about some body repairs for the Consul sports car they were driving.Ken Ralston said the he was working in the back of the garage and didn't see the men come in.
Harold Harley told of inspecting the two cars involved in the accident and found the steering mechanism intact on both.Constable Horn was then recalled as the final witness and he presented six phoographs which showed the condition of the highway, location, and position of the cars following the collision. He said that both cars had been search. Nothing unusual was ound in the Pontiac, but a quantity of broken glass was found on the passenger's side of the Consul sports car, along with some full bottles of alcohol with the seals on and a bottle of vodka with the top broken off and a 1/2 ounce of liquid in it.
It was midnight when the jury reached its verdict. The foreman was Jack Fulton, and members included Floyd Saunders, Walter Hatfield, Murray Riordon, Robert Clark, Seth Way, Roy Grant and Walter Neal.

In 1946 she met the love of her life Herbert L. Scott. In 1948 they married and decided to move to the United States. Lenora spent the next 28 years of her career as a fabricator with Fairchild Semiconductor making computer chips. She met many lifelong friends working in the Fairchild family.When Lenora wasn't working, she enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening and car rides. Her daughter, Jerri, fondly remembers that they didn't have store bought bread in the house until 1966. The holidays always included lots of delicious pies, pastries, cookies and cakes. When she wasn't baking you could find her in the garden. Her favorites were peonies, roses, and rhododendrons. There was also the big white flower in the back that no one was allowed to touch. For those wondering, it was called Queen Anne's Lace. Lenora and Herbert loved taking car rides together; Sunday morning drives and drives along the coast after dinner. Sometimes they would pack a picnic lunch and drive to Bug Light for their meal.Lenora is predeceased by her parents and several brothers and sisters.She is survived by her husband, Herbert Scott, daughter Jerri and husband Mark Palmer, son Laurie and wife Catharine Scott, son Ronald Scott and longtime companion Sandy MacDonald, 2 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and 2 sisters.On April 24th, Wednesday, from 9:30-10:30 A.M. there will be a period of Visitation at the Hobbs Funeral Home, 230 Cottage Road, South Portland, Maine.
