A Painful Accident

In early June of 1897, a tragedy was narrowly averted when Emmer Hammond jumped between his son and a log that was about to fly from his sawmill.  Mr. Hammond saved his son from a sure death by crushing.  Mr. Hammond suffered terrible injuries to his leg in the form of ripped muscles and torn flesh.  The doctor was summoned and is confident that Mr. Hammond will make a nice recovery.
