THROWN FROM BUGGY

Mrs. Sarah Wentz, of This Place, Has Shoulder Blade Broken

Mrs. Sarah A. Wentz, of Centennial avenue, met with a painful accident about 9 
a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 21, which might have resulted seriously.

She had been visiting her son, Morris Wentz, near Houck’s Mill, who was bringing 
her home, accompanied by his little son.  The horse took fright at a traction 
engine on the Becker Mill road, and ran up an embankment, upsetting the buggy, 
and throwing the occupants to the ground.  Mrs. Wentz’s shoulder blade was 
broken, and she was also considerably bruised.  Her son and grandson escaped 
uninjured.

She was conveyed to her home by neighbors, and Drs. R. N. and J. K. Meisenhelder 
were called, who reduced the fracture.
