John J. Osgerby Accident
John Osgerby met with an accident Saturday evening that nearly cost him his life. While he and his son, Joe were coming home after a week's baling hay, the span of colts they were driving became frightened at a man leading a cow in the road in front of them. The horses were facing the electric light and probably did not see the man and cow until they wore close to them which made them jump into the ditch, upsetting the buggy and threw Mr. Osgerby head foremost against the brace of a barbed wire fence. One cut four inches long and another one an inch in length was received through the scalp to the skull rendering Mr. Osgerby unconscious.
