Swank - Smith - buggy falls in creek
Source: Crawfordsville Review 24 Oct 1891 p 1
Last Wednesday night Smith Swank, wife and son met with an accident which might have proven more serious than it did. They were on their way to the home of Harrison Breaks, northwest of the city to attend a wedding. At the foot of the hill leading to Oak Hill cemetery and on the sharp curve in the road, they came face to face with a runaway horse attached to a buggy. This so frightened the horse Mr. Swank was driving that he wheeled suddenly, upsetting the buggy and threw the occupants over the steep embankment and into the little branch below. Fortunately none of them were seriously injured and aside from a good fright and a frigid bath they escaped injury. - kbz
