The following articles are in regards to the accident and death of Solomon Shively:
Probably Fatal Accident
Solomon Shively, a well known farmer, living two miles north west of town, met with a terrible accident Monday evening, which will in all probability result fatally, if he is not already dead by this time. Mr. Shively and his hired man, a young man by name of Boyer, were hauling in hay and a pulley on the hay carrier in his barn broke while unloading a load. Mr. Shively climbed up on a ladder to the carrier in the comb of the barn to fix the carrier. While he was in the act of doing so a bunch of hay, which was fastened on the hay fork, was tripped off and set the carriage in motion, throwing Mr. Shively from the top of the ladder. He was carried or thrown across the hay mow any the rope of the hay carrier and fell a distance of over thirty feet striking upon his head and shoulders on the barn floor. The hired man being unable to restore him to consciousness summoned the neighbors as Mr. Shiveley’s family was away from home at the time and Dr. Lower was sent for. An examination showed that one leg was broken and his skull badly fractured at the base, besides other bad bruises and probably internal injuries about the body. The doctor pronounced his case very critical and with little hopes of recovery. At last report yesterday morning he was still alive but had not regained consciousness and there was very little if any hopes of his recovery. Mr. Shively is about forty-five years of age and has a family of several children.
Solomon Shively Dead
Mention was made in our last issue of the frightful fall of Solomon Shively from his hay mow on Monday evening and the dangerous condition of his injuries. He died about ten o’clock Thursday night having never regained consciousness. From the first the doctors pronounced his injuries fatal but as he continued to live his family wanted everything done that might save his life. Dr. McCaskey, of Fort Wayne, was sent for and with Dr. Lancaster, of this city, performed an operation by which a portion of the injured man’s skull was cut out and some clotted blood removed from his brain. The operation, we are told, had no perceptible effect on the patient and he still continued in a comatose condition, death resulting as above stated.
The decease was a man age 43 years, 8 months and 14 days at the time of his death, having resided in this community all his life. He leaves a wife and four children, besides a number of brothers and other relatives to mourn his death. Funeral took place Saturday forenoon at then o’clock at the old Dunkard church a mile west of town, Elders Balsley and Jacob Mishler officiating. The services were very largely attended, the church being crowded to over flowing. Burial took place at the Swank cemetery north of town.
