John Longstreet injured on the job

from the New Jersey Mirror 22 Jul 1875 On Saturday last, John D. Longstreet, aged 21, a conductor on a construction train, while engaged in disconnecting cars at the depot, had his right foot caught between the curtain and the bumper of two cars and the fleshy part of his foot frightfully lacerated. Dr. A. E. Budd was called in and upon examination, fortunately found that no bones were broken, although the injury is a very severe one. Mr. Longstreet is a son of Supervisor Longstreet of the Pennsylvania railroad and resides in Mount Holly.
