The Altoona Tribune. (Altoona, Pa.) January 12, 1860
John McCoy, aged about 12 years, son of Daniel McCoy, of this place, had his arm
broken on Friday evening last, while riding down Julia street, on a sled. He was
riding with his breast on the sled, and his hands holding on to the front of the
runners, at a speed of a mile in two minutes, when he struck a sled which was
ascending the hill, breaking his arm just above the wrist. He held on until he came
to the foot of the hill when he was picked up and carried into Dr. Finley’s office,
close by. Dr. Finley not being at home, Dr. Christy was called and soon reduced the
fracture and the boy is now getting along very well. The boy was also somewhat
scratched and cut above the face, but not seriously injured.
