J.E. Ives Seriously Hurt at Halls Creek Ginning Company, September 1920

In an accident at the mill of the Halls Creek Ginning Company near Okisko Tuesday afternoon, J.E. Ives, a prominent resident of Okisko, had his leg crused, the bone being broken in several places. He was taken to St. Vincent's hospital in Norfolk by Dr. Hoggard of Woodville following the injury and word has been received in this city that little hope is entertained that his leg will be saved. In any event, hospital authorties declare that it will be several months before he is able to walk. (From The Independent, Elizabeth City, N.C., September 24, 1920.)
