SHOCKING AND
FATAL ACCIDENT
Washington County Journal
Thursday, December 5, 1867
Page 2 Column 2
The following are the details
of the very sad accident, which occurred at
Cadet, in this county, on Wednesday last, and which
resulted in a horrible, lingering death to Mrs.
Lancaster, widow of the late James Lancaster, and
sister-in-law to
Judge D. E. Perryman. On that day as a daughter of
the deceased,
Mrs. Cummings, was leading a family horse into the
stable, the animal from some unknown cause became either
frightened or infuriated, and rushed upon her,
emminently endangering her life. Seeing her daughter's
critical position, with sympathy and protective instinct
of a mother's nature, and entirely regardless of her own
safety, Mrs. Lancaster attempted to make her way by the
horse inside the stable, to rescue her daughter from
danger. The animal meantime breaking loose from the
latter, turned quickly around and rushing on Mrs. L
threw her violently to the earth, and passed over her.
In the fall she either received the full force of the
horses feet or was thrown against some object near at
hand with such violence as to fracture the temporal
bone, in the head.
The aid of Dr. Bruce, of Old
Mines, was called in and upon examination of the very
serious wound it was deemed advisable to obtain further
medical assistance, in consultation. Dr. Hall of this
place was called in, and upon consultation it was
decided to operate on the following (Thursday) morning,
if the patient's case would justify it. This was
accordingly done, but the patient was beyond the reach
of relief, and, on Friday morning died. |
