THE BINGHAMTON REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY JULY 9, 1890
PAGE 6
FATALLY INJURED A WORKMAN CRUSHED BENEATH A PILE OF BOARDS
-------------------
Abner Hill, an employee of A. J. Lyon & Co., on South Street, met with an accident at 10:30 o'clock Monday morning which resulted fatally yesterday morning. He was engaged with several others in piling boards when suddenly the pile fell, a portion of the boards striking him and crushing him to the ground.
As one end of the pile rested on a wagon wheel, it was thought that he was not seriously injured. One of the workmen lifted the boards off him and when extricated, he was able to walk. Dr. Van Alstyne who had been summoned made an examination and found that no bones were broken. Hill, however, declared he was fatally injured and going home went to bed.
He gradually grew worse, suffering considerably and expired at 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning. He was a hard laboring man and leaves a wife with ten small children. Mrs. Hill is nearly distracted over her loss and does not know what to do. It is supposed that internal injuries caused his death.
