His Leg cut off in a Harvest Field.
What was intended as fun resulted
seriously to Aaron Talhelm, son of
Calvin Talhelm, of Five Forks, on
July 4th. Mr. Talhelm had two
reapers in the field, he driving one
and his son, Aaron, aged 15, the other.
In order to frighten young Aaron
some of his boy friends hid themselves
in a clump of bushes and when he
came along on the reaper they
jumped from the hiding place
and frightened the horses. The animals
were at once beyond the control
of young Talhelm and he was
thrown violently from the seat, immediately
in front of the knife. He
was dragged some distance and when
taken up one leg was found to be
broken and the other so badly cut by
the knife that but a small portion of
flesh held it to the body.It was afterward
amputated. The horses ran
until they broke the binder almost to
pieces and were finally caught. The
injured boy is in a very precarious
condition and it is feared reaction
may result fatally.
The newspaper states he was 15 yrs. old, but he was 11.
Aaron and his wife Maude had 11 children. Aaron Worked on farms and tended the furnace at the canning factory in Greencastle Pa.
