Shaeffer, A. B. - 1881

A Boy Run Over.
Eugene Archer, a little son of Mrs. Mayne B. Archer, of Lititz, while playing on North Queen street near Brimmer’s livery on Saturday morning was struck and knocked down by A. B. Shaeffer’s business wagon which was passing at the time.  The wheel passed over the little fellow’s leg below the knee, but did not seriously hurt it.  No blame attaches to the driver, as he was going very slowly, and the boy, had his back to the team, and backed into it.
