Ed Carter Loses Hand to Corn Shredder, Feb. 26, 1926

Loss of Hand

Ed. C. Carter, who lives about one mile west of Zebulon had a very serious accident last week. In feeding a corn shredder, his right hand was caught in the machine and was so crushed that his arm had to be taken off about half way to his elbow.

He was carried to Mary Elizabeth hospital, Raleigh, where the wound was dressed. He is still at the hospital, and the arm is healing satisfactorily.
