SERIOUS INJURY: W.O. HOWELL SERIOUSLY INJURED
[Welland Tribune, 17 January 1908]
Mr. W.O. Howell, carpenter, of Thorold township, near Fonthill, met with a very serious accident on Tuesday last. He was working for Charles McClellan on a building at Niagara Falls South, when a part of the framework fell, carrying Mr. Howell to the ground.
Mr. Howell’s escape from instant death was a mighty narrow one, a heavy timber crashing down but a few inches from his head. As it was, his left ankle was smashed, sustaining a compound fracture. He was removed to Dr. McGarry’s office, where the fracture was reduced by Drs. McGarry and Olmstead, and later he was removed to the hospital at the Falls, where he will be for the next five or six weeks. The accident is a most deplorable one.
Mr. Howell is a member of Court Raymond, Fonthill.
