Sharpe - N. B.


Source: Crawfordsville Review, Mon Jan 17, 1916

N. B. SHARPE, one of Frankfort and Clinton County's best known  men died Friday night at 11 o'clock at the home of his son, Ivan  Sharp (sic) who resides 3 miles east of the city, his death being  due to injuries sustained last Friday when he was kicked by a  horse. His son being sick, Mr. Sharp went to the barn to assist  in the feeding and went into a stall beside one of the horses.  The animal showed no signs of viciousness at the time but after  Mr. Sharp had come within reach of the animal, it turned on him  and made a vicious attack. Before Mr. Sharp could leave the stall  the animal had kicked him in the forehead with both hind feet.  The blows rendered the man unconscious and the farm hand hearing  the commotion hurried to the stall. He found Mr. Sharp laying on  the floor unconscious and bleeding from the wound extending  entirely across the forehead. The injured man was removed from  the stall and carried into the house and physicians were called  to care for him. ( This copy ends here.)
