Roy Barnhardt, 3 1/2-Years-Old, Loses Left Hand in Corn Shucker, March 8, 1926

Child Loses Hand

Master Roy Barnhardt, the 3 ½-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hope Barnhardt of Sanford, had the misfortune to get his left hand crushed in a corn shucker February 23rd. The physicians found it necessary to amputate all fingers and a part of his hand. They still hope to save a little of the hand.

The little fellow is in the Carolina Central Hospital. Just three months ago his oldest brother, Hope Jr., fell from a tree breaking both bones off in his left arm.
