We are sorry to hear of an accident
that recently betell our old friend, Nj.
j. Crews, at Flat River. The follow
ing is from the Flat items in last
weeks Pennington News: IN. J..
Crews happened to a painful accident
Saturday when he fell from the front
porch at his hcme here and broke the
small bone in his right ankle. He was
picked up unconscious by members OF
, the family who hurriedly called a
physician, and last reports are that he
is getting along nicely through suffer-
, ing quite a bit OF pain. Mr.. Crews
has been the victim of a series Of ac-
cidents having had both arms broken
and his eyesight totally destroyed III
a mine accident in the Iron County
It Granite works more than thirty years
ago. In spite Of all this, he gets much
Joy out Of life, and keeps himself well
n informed on the current topics OF the
day, and is an unusually interesting
conversational. His optimism may,
in a measure, be attributed to tht
!, tender care he has always received
at the hands of his family, and to thu
= thoughtiulness Of his many friends
. who are now hoping that his recen
ID misfortune will prove of a a minol
~ nature and that he will be up an
about again"
