Taylor, John - 1890
Taylor, John, Miner
April 7, 1890, 1st District, Ivil Colliery, Washington County.
Fatally injured by a fall of slate. Died on the 26th. He received a compound comminuted <sic> fracture of the right knee by falling slate, the fracture extending six inches below the knee joint and into the joint. It was the opinion of the attending physician that the leg should have been amputated immediately after the accident, but the family and friends opposed this and called in a consulting physician, and it was decided to use conservative surgery and try to save the leg. About eleven days after the accident the condition of the case was such that amputation was absolutely necessary. This was done by amputating the lower third of the thigh, but mortification of the foot as well as blood poisoning having set in, he lived only seven days after the amputation. Age 40. Married. Two orphans.
