The Lyons Herald, Thursday, October 20, 1910

J. W. Hoy, who had his leg so severely broken and crushed with a disc harrow 
while working for A.M. Knapp some two or three weeks ago, did not get along so 
favorably as was hoped, and although everything possible was done to prevent 
it, it was deemed necessary by the attending physicians to amputate the leg 
and Sunday Drs. Weston, Gause and Hargrave performed the operation, taking it 
off about four inches above the knee.

John N. Hoy, the farm hand injured some four weeks ago on the farm of Arthur 
Knapp in North Plains, died on Wednesday.  At time of the accident he was 
driving a team of mules on a disc harrow and the mules became frightened and 
ran away.  He fell from the harrow and it passed over his body, badly cutting 
and crushing one of his legs, which was amputated in an effort to save his 
life.  His spine was also affected, causing him to lose his mind.  A widow and 
two children survive.
