J.T. Setzer Taken to Hospital for Operation, 1918

“Mr. J.T. Setzer Ill, Taken to Hospital,” from the Hickory Daily Record, January 1, 1918

Mr. J.T. Setzer, clerk of the court of Catawba county, was carried to Statesville in an automobile this afternoon by Dr. C.L. Hunsicker to undergo an operation in Dr. Long’s Sanatorium for appendicitis. Mr. Setzer has not been feeling the best for several days and when he came down street this morning, he felt an attack coming on. He hoped to catch No. 36 for Statesville, but it was reported many hours late and No. 22, due here at 11:25, was reported four hours late.

Mr. Setzer had had several attacks of appendicitis and an operation at this time is believed to be necessary. He was feeling the pain acutely this afternoon, when it was decided not to wait for eastbound trains, but to take the journey through the country.

His many friends in the county will hope for his speedy recovery.
