Two Accidents at Holyoke

by Laurel | February 4th, 2012

04 February 1894

Henry Stedman, a milkman, living at 287 Dwight Street in Holyoke, fell on the ice yesterday morning and broke one of his legs above the knee. He was attended by a physician and will get on all right.

William Nolan, a substitute carrier in the Holyoke post office was seriously injured yesterday afternoon by the falling of the glass of a skylight over the post office. The light was smashed by a fall of snow from the roof of the Hotel Hamilton. Nolan was passing under the light and received the force of the blow on one of his legs which was badly cut. No serious results are expected.
