McCULLOUGH, Frank

Source: Greencastle Herald 22 Jan 1908 p 1

Frank McCullough of near Reelsville was probably fatally injured on Monday evening by being crushed under a load of hay which overturned with him.  It is not known just how the accident happened, but it is supposed that the load was not properly balance and Mr. McCullough’s weight on one side caused it to upset.  Mr. McCullough was caught under the wheels and frame of the hay wagon and badly crushed about the head and chest. He was picked up in an unconscious condition but Tuesday had regained consciousness and was perfectly rational. The attending physician pronounced McCullough’s injuries very serious but believes he will recover.  His head is badly cut and bruised and he is suffering from concussion of the brain.  It is also believed that Mr. McCullough has sustained internal injuries as he vomits considerable blood since the accident. The injured man is about 50 years old and is a well known farmer of the Reelsville neighborhood.  He has many friends in this county who will regret to learn of his unfortunate accident.

Note: Frank passed away on the 31st.
