New Jersey Courier 10 Apr 1873 William Messler, a young man employed in the mill, was caught in a belt and thrown with great violence through an aperture in the floor or partition, causing a fracture of one arm and a dislocated shoulder, with severe bodily injuries. Dr. Chase was sent for immediately, but being engaged with Dr. Gordon in the amputation of Mr. Hoft's son some delay occurred before he could attend to Mr. Messler. The case received the earliest possible attention, however, and the injured man is doing well and likely to recover.
