Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, 3 September 1868
Sad Accident- About 1 o'clock yesterday, John S. Wilhite, son of widow Wilhite, who lives three miles south of the city, fell from a beam near the sky-light of Cadwallader and Robbin's livery stable to the ground floor, a distance of twenty-five feet, breaking his left leg and otherwise mangling his body so that but little hopes are entertained of his recovery. At his writing he is lying in an unconscious state.

John S. Wilhite, the young man whom we mentioned last week as having been injured by falling from the roof of Cadwallader & Robbins' stable, died on the morning of the 3rd, at 1 o'clock. His remains were interred on Friday by the Masonic fraternity, of which he was an honored member. - thanks so much to Kim H for these
