The Oskaloosa Times Friday March 16, 1900 Last Monday morning, while chopping wood, Morgan ELLIOTT's axe became entangled in the branches of a tree causing the axe to strike Morgan's foot, severing the bone of the great toe. Dr. Cole dressed the wound and everything seemed doing nicely until Tuesday afternoon, when the Dr. examined it again and found it necessary to amputate the toe. Dr. McCreight, of Oskaloosa, was summoned and he and Dr. Cole and Dr. Larry, of Ozawkie, performed the operation, which was very successful, and Elliott is getting along nicely. (Dunavant.)
