MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1914.
MRS J. T. CORLEY NEAR
DEATH IN ACCIDENT
Horse Runs Off Bridge With
Buggy On Powder Springs
Road Tuesday.
On Tuesday morning Mrs. J. 1.
Corley was driving to Marietta in a
surrey on the Powder Springs road
when the horse ran away and jumped
the bridge over the two-mile branch.
Mr. Oscar Holtzclaw, who
lives near the bridge, was the first
to reach her and Mr. James T. An
derson, who was passing in his car,
assisted Mr. Holtzclaw in removing
the injured lady to her home, “Az
den”, only a short distance away.
Mr. Anderson telephoned for Misses
Lula and Sarah Manning, who live
next door to ‘““Arden” and sent for
Mrs. Tom Read who arrived in a car
with her 'son in ten minutes. While
these ladies were doing all they
could for her the doctors arrived.
Dr. Nolan and Dr. Benson came at
once and administered sedatives go
Mrs. Corley could endure the probh
ing of her injuries. The doctors
found a gash on her head, the left
ankle broken and the right sprained,
the left wrist broken and left hip
injured. On account of the severe
shock they waited until Wednesday
to set the bones.
While she is severely hurt and has
suffered greatly, she has her devoted
sister, Mrs. Jarman, her daughter,
Miss Pauline Corley, her husband
and two sons with her and every
thing possible will be done to alle
viate her suffering. No one could
wish for more devoted friends than
she has and the entire city and
neighborhood were horrified over the
first reports of the accident and it
has been a great relief to every one
to know that she is not so seriously
hurt as was rumored.
