Hazleton Daily Standard; Tuesday, December 6, 1892:
William P. Wallace, son of Officer Wallace, sustained serious injuries at Oneida last night at 11 o'clock. He was employed as brakeman on the D.S. & S. and had left the train to turn a switch when he slipped and fell, the wheels passing over his right arm and crushing it. Dr. Jenkins, of Sheppton, was immediately sent for, who dressed the wounds as best he could. He was then put into a box car and brought as far as the Jeanesville crossing, where he was met by the ambulance and taken to the hospital at midnight. Here an examination was made, and it was found that the arm was so baldy crushed that it had to be amputated below the shoulder. He also received several scalp wounds and was considerably bruised about the body. He was unconscious when brought to the hospital. His condition at 1 o'clock was considered very serious by the physician, owing to the loss of blood and exposure to the cold.

William P. Wallace, son of Officer Wallace, who was injured on the D.S. & S. Railroad on Monday night, died of his injuries yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. From the time he was brought to the hospital until just a few minutes before he died he was unconscious. He recognized his father, who had been with him all night, and called him by name, and in a few minutes passed away. He was a young man of good habits, was a member of the Presbyterian church and Sunday school, and also of Washington Camp, No. 91, P.O.S. of A. He was well liked and had many friends and acquaintances in this city who will mourn his loss. This is indeed a sad blow to the bereaved family. Mrs. Wallace, the mother of the boy, has been ill for the past two weeks, and is nearly prostrated with grief over the loss of her child. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon.
