Longenecker, Abraham L. - 1881

County Clippings.--
On Thursday morning Abraham L. Longenecker, butcher of Manheim borough, met with a serious accident.  It appears that while in the act of throwing with a fork (used for that purpose) a loop over the head of a steer he intended to slaughter, the animal being a vicious one, kicked, striking the fork, the handle of which struck Mr. L. on the lower rib of his right side with such force as to cause very serious internal injury.
