"Fairfield Ledger", September 3, 1868

Accident.--- On last Saturday forenoon, a man named Charlie EASTOR, a son-in-law of Mr. G. KALER, while feeding a threshing machine on the farm of Mr. James SPEER, in Cedar township, accidentally got his left hand into the machine, taking off a portion of the hand and the arm, and so lacerating it as it will probably require amputation near the elbow.
