RIGHT ARM IS CAUGHT WHEN CUTTING CORN
Accident Occurs On Farm of Parents Near Reedsville; Was Aiding Father
Adeline Bessert, 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Bessert residing on a farm four miles southwest of the village of Reedsville, is a patient at the Holy Family hospital here with her right arm amputated at the elbow as the result of an accident suffered on the farm late Friday afternoon when she sought to aid her father in corn cutting operations.
Returning from school yesterday afternoon the Bessert girl, who was always ambitious to help her father with the farm chores, rushed to the barn against the orders of her mother. She reached there just as Mr. Bessert was about to shut down the engine operating the feed cutter.
In reaching in to pull some corn from between the knives her right arm was caught and drawn in up to the elbow. The girl was rushed to the office of a Brillion physician and later she was brought to the hospital here. The arm was so badly mangled by the knives that it was found necessary to amputate it at the elbow.
Unless complications develop the patient is expected to recover. She is one of a family of four children.
