Injured While in Sunday School

New York, 1895

A peculiar accident occurred in the Methodist Sunday school at Hempstead on Sunday while service was being held. A high wind caused the inner shutters to break loose from their fastenings and fall upon the heads of several of the children. Thomas Tydeman was struck by one of the shutters and rendered unconscious. After several stitches had been taken in a wound in his head the boy was removed to his home.
