Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 88, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 April 1912 — Will Secure Artificial Leg For Henry Nevill. [ARTICLE]

Will Secure Artificial Leg For Henry Nevill.

A paper was started Tuesday afternoon to secure money with which to procure an artificial leg for Henry Nevill, whose misfortune in the loss of his right leg a few weeks ago has unfitted him for the class of labor he formerly performed. The paper was liberally signed, practically every person asked contributing to the cause and more than half the SIOO required was raised the first afternoon. The amount was increased this morning to about $65 and it will not be difficult to procure the balance. Those who care to contribute to the worthy effort can leave their money with The Republican or see the solicitor on the street. A number in town have not yet been seen. S. F. Wood, who was here from Detroit, who sold an artificial leg to John Beecher, of Jordan township, will "supply this teg, and made a cast of the foot while here and took it home with him. Mr. Wood also took an order from Wesley Faylor for an artificial hand. Mr. Faylor lost his hand in a com shredder last fall.
