Surnames: Wilson, Straw, Meade, Cadle/Cadie Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AQB.2ACI/173.1 Message Board Post: Union Ledger, Friday, January 27, 1911 Thomas Wilson Injured. Tuesday morning a runaway occurred in the vicinity of Old Wyoming, about five miles southeast of here, in which our old friend Thomas WILSON was very severely bruised and painfully injured and Charles STRAW was slightly injured while Walter MEADE, the other occupant of the buggy, escaped uninjured. The three men had been out driving in a single-seat buggy, and in going down a hill some part of the harness gave way and let the neck-yoke down, which frightened the horses and they got beyond control. The buggy upset and threw the three men out, resulting in the above injuries. Mead and Straw saw that Mr. Wilson was seriously hurt and with assistance of Mr. CADLE [CADIE?] who was near, they gave the injured man the best attention possible at that time, and later took him to his home. It was found that no bones were broken but that he was quite severely bruised, and it is thought that in a few days he will be able to be out again. It is fortunate that none of the men were more [article cut off].
