From The Pantagraph (Bloomington, Illinois), September 4, 1882, Monday, Page 3 --
Dying from a Curious Cause.-Mr. Jeremiah Hall, one of the oldest settlers of North Danvers, now a resident of Danvers, is lying very near death's door, his death being hourly expected. In 1844 he accidentally run a thorn in one of his fingers, the effect of which came near throwing him into the lock jaw. The finger was amputated many years ago, but the effect of the wound remains with him until this day. He Is 73 years old.
I reported the details of the accident HERE. It said it effected his nerves so greatly that if he got too excited his body would become stiff and rigid. Very strange. And here it is claiming his life?
Two days after publication, Jeremiah S. Hall would pass. He was the 3xg-grandfather on my mother's maternal side.
