Jackson Sentinel, Feb. 4, 1886

A distressing accident occurred to Bishop Hennessy at his home in Dubuque, about noon last Wednesday. He was descending a winding stairway when his foot slipped, and he fell breaking his right leg about four inches above the ankle. The fracture is severe and he also received other bruises. The best surgical aid in the city was called at once, and it will take skillful attention to save the strength of the limb. The patient will probably be confined to his room for some time to come. His legion of friends and co-workers in the church will hear with deep regret the news of this misfortune of their Bishop, who commands their love and highest esteem
