Awful Accident Happens to Boy
Robert Bland Kicked by Mule, Badly Crushing His Skull, Removed to Louisville A serious accident came to Robert Bland, about 14 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bland, residing in the Science Hill community, last Thursday afternoon. The young man was assisting his father in stacking hay and was astride a mule. When the animal became frightened it threw the boy on the ground and kicked him with full force above the left eye. The skull was crushed in such a manner that the brain was visible. A physician was called who rendered all the aid he could, and on his advice, young Bland was taken to St. Joseph's Infirmary, Louisville, Friday morning where Dr. Irvin Abell attended him. Sunday it was thought that the patient could not live long and his family was summoned to his bedside. Yesterday, however, a little hope was entertained for his recovery.~ The News-Journal, Thursday , July 26, 1923.

Injuries Prove Fatal to Boy
Robert Bland, the 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence J. Bland, residing in the Friendship Community of the county, died Saturday morning in Louisville Ky, from injuries he received when kicked by a mule two weeks ago. It will be remembered that young Bland was assisting his father in stacking hay at the farm and was astride a mule, when the animal became frightened or stubborn, it threw the boy on the ground and kicked him with full force above the left eye. The skull was crushed in such a manner that the brain was visible. Soon as possible the young man was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital in Louisville Ky, where an operation and treatment was rendered by Dr. Irvin Abell. For a while his condition improved and hopes were entertained for his recovery, but complications developed and he gradually grew worse until the end came. All that could be done to save the good boy's life was resorted to by his loved ones and medical science, but it was willed that he must go, as the angels hovered about his bedside. He was a bright and promising boy and the bereaved ones have the sympathy of all in their sorrow. The body was brought to this place Saturday night and Sunday afternoon funeral services were held at the Campbellsville Baptist Church, conducted by his pastor, Rev. S.D. Edwards, assisted by the Rev. H. S. Summers, followed by burial in the Brookside Cemetery. ~ The News- Journal, Thursday , August 9, 1923.
