Hand Lacerated (1883)

Posted on by

Excerpted from the Swansboro Items column:

We regret to learn that a young man by the name of Walter BUCK, while feeding the gin of Dr. ENNET, on Monday last, had his hand and arm terribly lacerated by being caught in the gin.  Dr. BLOUNT was dispatched for, but we have not heard the result.  Since writing the above, Dr. BLOUNT has returned from Dr. ENNETT’s, and says he can save Mr. BUCK‘s hand and arm except one finger, which will probably have to be taken off.

We attended a very delightly morning wedding at Trinity Church, Chowcowinity, Tuesday at 9:30.  It was the occasion of the marriage of Mr. David BROOM, of Pollocksville, N.C. to Miss Ella WINFIELD.   The decorations were exquisite and the nuptials impressive.  Rev. N. Collin HUGHES performed the ceremony and the March was beautifully rendered by Miss Hattie WINFIELD.  The bride was given away by her father, Mr. J.T. WINFIELD.  The groom is a popular and respected citizen of Onslow county, and the bride is an accomplished and beautiful woman.  They have the best wishes of a large circl of friends, and among them no one wishes the happy couple a brighter future than The Gazette.  Mr. and Mrs. BROOM left at once for Pollocksville.  Quite a number of Washingtonians witnessed the marriage.
