Joint marker with Baby Joe Hansard. John F. Bilyeu was the son of John F. Bilyeu and Serepta Missouri Devaney who married first John F. Bilyeu and second General Brown Hansard. Therefore, Bloomer Bilyeu and Baby Joe Hansard share a stone because they share the same mother. (Information provided by FAG contributor srh #47963688.)
Bloomer Bilyeu, a grandson of F. P. Devaney, who lives six miles west of town, went out grouse hunting. After being out some time he and his companion sat down on a log, presumably to rest. Bloomer in taking up his gun grasped it by the muzzle in such a manner that his hand was over and above the muzzle, and then drew the gun towards him, when it was discharged, the charge passing through his hand, tearing bone, tendon and ligament in a terrible manner.
His companion assisted him to the nearest house. Here the arm was bandaged with a handkerchief to stop the flow of blood, and a litter prepared to take the unfortunate man to his grandfather's. A messenger was dispatched to this city for Dr. Ahlborn, who immediately responded reaching Mr. DeVaney's house a short time before the wounded young man.
Dr. Ahlborn immediately bandaged the arm in a more secure manner to stop the hemorrhage, and a telegram was sent for Dr. Hill of Albany, the family physician. For some reason, Dr. Hill failed to get the telegram and a messenger was dispatched for him about midnight, and the doctor reached the bedside of the young man about 6 a.m. Monday. The doctors agreed that amputation was necessary, and accordingly the hand was taken off at the wrist.
Young Bilyeu had lost so much blood that he had not fairly rallied from the shock when Dr. Ahlborn returned at 10 a.m. on Monday. The doctor brought the amputated member to his office and the sight presented by it was sickening. LATER - On account of the great loss of blood yesterday (Sunday) the arm not being bandaged sufficiently to stop the hemorrhage, the unfortunate young man died today at the residence of his grandfather, F. P. DeVaney.
He was nearly 19 years old and was generally well liked by his friends and acquaintances. The family seemed to be rather unfortunate one. Of six children but two are now living. Two died from sickness, and another was so severely burned that death ensued. The remains were taken over to Lebanon Tuesday and consigned to their final resting place in the cemetery adjoining that city.
