Surnames: Tomkies Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hkB.2ACE/5703 Message Board Post: Cameron Herald – Thur., 1 May 1902 Serious Accident - Rev. C. W. Tomkies was advised that his wife had been seriously hurt in New Orleans and he took the first passenger from Cameron to Houston where he made close connection for New Orleans. The accident: Mrs. Tomkies, with a lady friend, was in a furniture store on Canal street when a heavy piece of furniture fell from the 5th floor and struck Mrs. Tomkies on her head, bruised and cut her face, and crushed her skull to some extent. The physicians decided to remove her to the sanitarium where an operation will be performed in raising the fracture. It was thought she would have to remain under care for 10days but was at that time getting on better than could be expected considering. A trained nurse and physicians have the case in charge and are hopeful of good results.

H. Henson, who lives on the Rockdale and Tracy road had a surgical operation on Thursday of last week performed by Dr. W. W. Greer. There is a forest growth in many localities in this county known as the “gum elastic.” The tree has a black scaly bark and the sap contains a considerable quantity of gum. The child took to the habit of chewing this gum and swallowing it, with the result that it lodged in the bowels and by slow process a formation was made almost half as large as a hen egg. The boy was confined to the bed and suffered great pain. As a last result, Dr. Greer cut into his side and found this remarkable formation. He brought it home with him and it may be seen at the hospital. The boy was still alive Friday.
