J. Albert Aaron
October 7, 1909 -J. Albert Aaron of near Corsica met with an accident last Wednesday evening, September 29, at the Grans (?) Ion farm in Union Township, Jefferson County, which is occupied by Edward Clark and for whom Mr. Aaron was threshing which caused his death the next day, Thursday, September 30, 1909.
During the threshing which was being pushed by Mr. Aaron who just bought a new threshing outfit the past summer from Jno. A. Magee & Son, there happened a breathing spell and Mr. Aaron and Reuben Hannold, son of Alexander Hannold of Clarion Township, got to wrestling. It seemed that the work had been going along well and everybody was feeling good and the men were not averse to having a little diversion by way of athletic feats.
Mr. Aaron was a short, stockily built man while Mr. Hannold is tall and heavily built, weighing it is said something over two hundred pounds. In the tussling Aaron got his arms around Hannold's legs with his head against Hannold's abdomen. It seems that in the struggle to keep up, Hannold's feet slipped on the grass and he fell forward with all of his weight and the added impulse of the struggle
and bent Aaron's head down upon his breast with such force that the muscles of the shoulders and back of the neck were torn loose and the spinal column and cord were broken. There were probably twenty men standing around during the wrestling who saw the affair and the above is as near the
facts as we can give them at this time. When the wrestlers fell, Hannold got off of Aaron but Aaron did not arise. One of those looking on said, why Albert is hurt, and immediately they began to try to help him. He talked just like he always did and when it was suggested that they send for a doctor he said he would be alright in a little while. When they tried to get him on his feet his limbs refused to act, but he still possessed his reasoning faculties and powers of speech. When the physician, Dr. Slack of Corsica, arrived and the true condition of Mr. Aaron was discovered he took all the blame upon himself and said Hannold was not to blame for the accident. Mr. Aaron's right arm and limbs were paralyzed but he did not lose consciousness until the next day, Thursday, and gradually sank to the close of life.
The deceased was the son and only child of Clement Aaron.
He was 32 years old and besides his father leaves his wife who was a daughter of T. H. Cyphert of Clarion Township, and four small children to mourn the great calamity which has overtaken them.
Mr. Aaron was a man of splendid character and most exemplary life and was universally respected by all who knew him.
This terrible result of what was intended as a bit of pleasantry and fun has cast a gloom upon the community and has stirred all hearts to their depth, especially calling forth sympathy for the bereaved.
The remains of the deceased were buried from St. Ann's Roman
Catholic church of Corsica of which he was a member. Rev. Father Dwyer of Crates celebrated Requiem Mass and the interment took place in the cemetery adjoining.
The Clarion Democrat
His mother was Jane Eleanor 'Elzina' Taylor, 1854-bef. 1880,daughter of Abijah Taylor and Eleanor Jane Clark.
