Whitesell - Arthur A.
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 28 July 1899
Says the Indianapolis Journal this morning:
“Arthur A. Whitesell, a constable of Justice F. M. Hay’s court, was thrown from his buggy yesterday morning while on his way to the office and died about 6:30 o’clock last night as the result of his injuries.
Whitesell lived at 2012 Yandes Street, and when he reached Alvord and Nineteenth Streets, on his way down town, a bolt holding up the buggy shaft broke, letting the shaft down on the horse’s feet. The horse began to run, and at Sixteenth Street made a sharp turn to the west, throwing Whitesell out. He struck on the back of his head and was rendered unconscious. The dispensary ambulance was called and he was taken home. He was suffering from the rupture of a blood vessel at the base of the brain, a blood clot forming, and throughout the day little hope for his recovery was expressed by Dr. Ridpath, who attended him. The deceased was a widower, his wife having died about two years ago. He leaves four children, the oldest a boy of eighteen.”
Whitesell was the husband of Grace Hamlin, daughter of Dr. Hamlin, who resided here once. Grace, at the time of her marriage, made her home with Aaron Hughes. Whitesell is well known here, having many relatives in this county. -s
