Michael, John (serious injury – 1 JUN 1915)
John Michael was seriously injured late Tuesday afternoon while engaged in
clearing a field of his farm on the south side of the mill pond. He was driving
the team on a stump puller and had just moved the machine for another pull, when
in some manner the ratchet failed to hold, letting the sweep whirl and strike
him. Mr. Michael suffered a fracture of both legs below the knees. He was taken
home, where Dr. Schwartz attended to his injuries. The accident will lay him up
for some time. – Humbird Enterprise
