    1. [KSJACKSO] Serious Accident: F. McHUGH
    2. Jim Laird
    3. The Hoyt Sentinel Jackson County Saturday September 20, 1902 Serious Accident On Tuesday evening while F. McHUGH was driving a team of mules to a mowing machine, they scared and ran away, throwing Mr. McHugh under the machine, breaking four ribs on his left side and detaching three more from the backbone on the right side, causing a bad compound fracture of the collar bone and marring his body terribly. Dr. J.W. Murray was called and had to obtain assistance to reset the collar bone. Mr. McHugh lives six or seven miles northeast of Hoyt, near Point Pleasant. He is over 60 years of age and consequently not as spry as he was in his prime, but considering his age and the serious nature of the accident, he is doing remarkably well.
