Ware boy - knife in eye
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 3 March 1899
The small son of John Ware, who lives east of Alamo, was the victim of a terrible accident at his home Sunday. The boy was attempting to cut a string with a pocket knife when the string cut easier than he expected and the blade of the knife struck him in the eye, cutting the eyeball clear across and completely destroying the sight.
