Bovina Lad Injures Eye
Harold Hall Falls on Corn Stubble Which Narrowly Misses Eye
Harold Hall, the five or six year old son of Harrison Hall who lives on the old Soper farm in Bovina, sustained a severe cut just below the eye Sabbath morning. The lad had started for Sabbath School at Lake Delaware and while going through the fields between his home and his uncle Ellsworth Tuttle's he fell in a corn field and a corn-stubble made a severe wound just below his eye. He was taken to the home of his grandfather, Frank Kinch in Delhi and the doctors feared that he might lose the sight of the eye. Through the kindness of Miss Gerry a
specialist came from Albany and he gave assurance that the eye could be saved. The lad broke his arm a year or two ago and an older brother broke his arm a few weeks ago.
