Source: Waveland Independent, Friday, Dec 16, 1904 -- The shredder accident, a daily feature somewhere, has at last struck Waveland, heretofore exempt A. L. Courtney is the victim and it costs him his left arm. He was shredding on J.D. Fisher's farm, Wapello, Wednesday morning, when the accident oc curred. The fodder was very dry and crooked making it hard to feed. He w as standing on the left-side forcing the stalks, when his hand caught in t he feed rolls, drawing it and the forearm into the machine. Nelson Mile s, who was runnign the engine, stopped and reversed almost instantly, b ut the hand was already gone and gones of the fore-arm splintered. Courtn ey was drive to Waveland, a distance of 7 miles, before surgical aid cou ld be obtained. He made no complaint on the way home except that his ha nd - which was gone - was so cold. The arm was amputated at the elbow. He is now suffering a great deal of pain. It is a great misfortune and Mr. Courtney and his family have the hearty sympathy of the community.

A.L. COURTNEY has sold his filling station on West 47 and left on Tuesday for Dodge City, KS, where a half-sister Mrs. Palmer WARD and a brother live. Doc lived there himself 50 years ago so he will feel at home.
