Ames, Pleasant Frederick

Fred Ames, a miner of Galena Kansas, while working in a shaft on Tar Creek in the Miami district, Tuesday, was severely hurt by a falling boulder, which twisted his neck, broke one of his jaw bones, injured his shoulder and otherwise bruised his body badly. He was taken to St. John's hospital, Joplin Missouri, for treatment by an ambulance summoned from that city.

Dr. Cooter, of this city, attended the injured man, but finding his injuries so serious, decided that he should be taken to the hospital where an operation would likely have to be made to save his life.

The ambulance was summoned at 3 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, and the patient was landed at the hospital, four hours later. At the hospital Dr. A. R. Snyder took charge, and after performing an operation of the relief of neck injuries, held out some hope for Ames' recovery.

Cause of death of Fred Ames, was an injury received in the mines. He lived at Galena Kansas and was buried in a Galena cemetery. Removal to Galena was from Missouri by the Frank Seivers undertaking company at Joplin Missouri.
