Lingo, Henry - 1857

Swallowed A Needle
A singular and fatal accident happened to Mr. Henry Lingo, of Mercer county, PA., one day last week.  He had been eating buckwheat cakes when he partially swallowed a needle that stuck in his throat.  Every effort was made to extricate it, but without success, and he died from the effects of it in a day or two after.
