Andrew Pitre: The Moncton Transcript (Moncton, NB), Saturday, 21 December 1963: Newcastle - A 24-year-old South Nelson man was killed Friday afternoon when a payloader overturned, pinning him underneath. Dead is Andrew Pitre, father of three children, all two years and under. Coroner Dr. W. W. MacKay of Newcastle ruled an inquest and autopsy would be unnecessary. RCMP who investigated said Pitre was driving the construction vehicle, owned by Alexander Flett of South Nelson, from a gravel pit near the intersection of Highways 33 and 36 toward South Nelson when it apparently went out of control and rolled down an eight-foot embankment. Pitre was pinned underneath. He was taken to Miramichi Hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead on arrival. Surviving are his wife, the former Mina Arsenault; two sons, David, two, and Stephen, one; a daughter, Margaret, six months; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Adelard Pitre; two brothers, Joseph, Beaverbrook, and Benjamin, Bathurst; and three sisters, Regina and Priscella, Beaverbrook, and Adele, Bathurst. The funeral will be held Monday at 9 a.m. at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in South Nelson.
