OBITUARY: DAVIS COUNTY CLIPPER -Bountiful, UItah Friday, October 27 1911. Vol XXI, Col. 1, page 1. Lawrence Delanter (Delamater): Young Man from Ogden who was accidentally shot in leg at Syracuse, Died after an operation. Lawrence Delanter of Ogden the unfortunate young man who was accidentally shot in the leg by his companion, Lewis Jackson, as the latter was getting through a wire fence, on Wednesday morning of last week passed away at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday following an operation.
Nearly the whole calf of the leg was shot away as the young man was only about eight feet from the muzzle of the shot gun. Wadding was found in the wound. Some of the big blood vessels were entirely shot away.
Jackson became excited and ran for help, leaving Delanter to tie up his own leg with his handerchief, the best he could. A mrs. Carr, who lives in the vicinity, came to his assistance and placed hot cloths on the leg, which stopped the bledding some.
The accident happened in the morning but it was after noon before a doctor could be located and reach the patient. Dr. Barnett of Layton was the first physician to reach him; a little later, however, Dr. Merrell of Ogden, who happened to be in the neighborhood, also came to render assistance. Their family physician Dr. Green of Ogden, likewise visited the patient. Dr. Pidcockone of Ogden's leading surgeons saw the patient. Miss Mauning, who had been the chief nurse at the Dee hospital, nursed him.
The young man's general condition seemed fair on Saturday, but his leg was dead up to his knee, so the only thing that coudl be done was to take his leg off above the knee. With the terrible loss of blood before help came, and the shock of the operation were more than he could stand.
He died at the home of Mrs. Catherine Stoker of Syracuse. The young men were the guests of her son, John Stoker, and were off on a five day vacation. They had been working for the Utah Light and Ry. Co.
Deceased leaves a father and mother, three brothers a a sister and was twenty-one years old
Funeral services were held in Ogden, Monday.
