Indianapolis (IN) News, May 23, 1901, p. 1. DOWN THE HILLSIDE Wife Lodges in a Tree and Her Life is Saved Nashville, Ind., May 23-Henry Percifield, a well-known farmer, accompanied by his wife, drove to town yesterday afternoon, and about dusk they started on their return home. Near this city is a high hill, and the pike recently constructed runs along its side and is a dangerous passageway after nightfall. Midway up the ascent, their horse shied and plunged over the embankment. Mrs. Percifield was thrown into the air and down the embankment 75 feet, lodging in the top of a tree where she hung until rescued by her husband. Both Mr. and Mrs. Percifield escaped with their lives, but the horse was ruined by the terrible fall.
