NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE BANNER", Abbeville, South Carolina for JUNE 1850 NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, JUNE 1, 1850 DISTRESSING CASUALTY Mrs. DICKSON, the wife of Rev. Hugh DICKSON, was thrown from a horse on Thursday the 16th of May and fractured both bones in her left leg near the ankle. This was complicated with a complete dislocation of the ankle joint and a division of the soft parts for two thirds distance around the joint. An attempt was made to save the foot, but the injury was so extensive that gangrene commenced 4 or 5 days after the injury, which, it was greatly feared would prove fatal, as she is 64 years of age. The physicians in attendance succeeded in arresting its progress, however they were enabled on Thursday last to amputate the limb, which she bore much better than was feared. Mrs. Dickson is a woman of extraordinary fortitude and we trust she may ultimately recover. ----------- NOTICE TO CREDITORS All persons having demands against the estate of John G.
