The three patients who were admitted to the Shelby hospital some time back with fractured skulls have all returned to their homes and are recovering nicely, according to reports from the hospital.
Charles Eskridge Jr., State college student, who fell from a “skeeter” car and fractured his skull on the rear side of the head, was removed to his home Thursday morning and according to information the fracture is mending in fine fashion.
Master Glenn Short returned to his home in South Shelby last week and is doing well. The youngster received a fractured skull several weeks back when he fell from a high porch.
Palmer Maxton, whose skull was fractured when he was struck over the head with a shovel in the hands of a fellow worker, left the hospital for his home Monday.
Editor’s Note: A skeeter car was a car, usually a Model T, that had been stripped down by its owner and was called a skeeter because it “buzzed around.” It was in fashion among some young men in 1926.Eskridge was a student at what is now known as N.C. State University in Raleigh.
