Williamsburg, PA Sausage Machine Accident, Oct 1906

Posted October 30th, 2007 by Linda Horton

John Young, a Hollidaysburg, a butcher employed by Robert Norris at Williamsburg, was the victim of an unfortunate accident yesterday afternoon which will make him a cripple for life. He had made sausage during the day and in cleaning up the machine reached in with his right arm for a piece of meat that had become clogged among the knives. He hand was caught and one finger was severed and the others badly lacerated.
