Ray County, Missouri - Ray County Conservator transcription: J.D. Taylor





Dr. J.D. Taylor Breaks his Leg.
Last night about 9 o’clock Dr. J.D. Taylor started home from his place of
business, and as has been his custom for years went through the court house
yard. At the north gate the ice is quite thick on the pavement and very slick,
and the snow which was falling last night only added to its smoothness and
made pedestrianism a difficult matter. As the Doctor reached this ice spot
his feet went from under him and he fell heavily to the pavement. He regained
his footing, however, and started again, but fell once more, this time with
his right leg under him in such a manner as to break the bone between the
knee and thigh. Realizing that he was badly hurt and unable to rise he called
for help. Rev. McDonald ran to his assistance and aided him to his home about
a block away. He was made as comfortable as possible through the night and
physicians set the broken bone this morning. Dr. Taylor will be laid up for
some weeks.
