Elmore - Appleton - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Last evening Appleton Elmore, an old and well known resident of this county, met with injuries in a runaway accident which are likely to prove fatal. In company with a young man named Groendyke, he was driving along the road near his home in the Quick schoolhouse neighborhood when his horse suddenly took fright and ran off. The terrified animal plunged along the highway until the vehicle was upset and both occupants thrown out. Young Groendyke was badly bruised but Elmore lay on the ground senseless and very badly hurt. He was picked up and conveyed to his home where he received medical attention as soon as it could be summoned. His injuries are of a very grave character and doubts of his recovery are entertained. Mr. Elmore had hundreds of acquaintances in this city and is well known all over this county. -s
