DEWEY Mr. Burt Dewey [SRGP 7050]

Last Wednesday afternoon Mr. Burt Dewey, of Cherry Flats, was out hunting with a companion on the hills not far from his home.  The young men sat down to rest, and when Dewey started to rise his shotgun was accidentally discharged.  The muzzle was close to his right arm, and the limb was literally torn to shreds just below the elbow.  Dewey’s companion took off his vest and wrapped it about the injured arm and then started off for assistance.  Had a ligature been made tight enough to stop the flow of blood, Dewey would probably have survived; but when assistance arrived he was very weak for the loss of blood.  He was taken home and several physicians were called.  A consultation was held, and it was decided that the amputation of the arm was necessary, although there were grave misgivings about the result of the operation, owing to Mr. Dewey’s weak condition.  He did not survive the shock, but died on Thursday morning.  Dewey was 32 years of age.  He leaves a widow and four children, the two youngest being twins, 10 months old.  The funeral was held at the State Road Baptist church last Saturday.  (Tuesday, October 21, 1891, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Langford, which occurred in Kingston Avenue hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y., at about 10:30 that morning, says the Montrose Republican.  “Willard was a popular young man, beloved by scores of friends for his genial ways and courteous bearing.  When the submarine warfare was sending ships to the bottom daily, and before the United States entered the war, he enlisted in the navy and for some time was on merchant vessels, being a member of a gun crew placed on ships to protect the vessels.  He saw considerable service and a number of encounters with undersea boats, and rose to the position of boatswain, first class.  “During the winter he was stricken with influenza, pneumonia developed, and since that time he had been sturdily fighting for his life.  Less than two weeks ago a rib became infected and it was necessary to remove a portion of it.  He withstood the operation well, but his weakened condition as a result of his long illness, could not withstand the added strain.  Besides his parents, he is survived by one sister, Miss Virginia Langford, and a half-brother, Edwin Wilfong.  The body was brought to his home Wednesday morning, and the funeral will be held from the Baptist church, of which his father is pastor, Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock.  It is expected that a body of returned soldiers and sailors will act as an escort to the burial plot in Montrose cemetery.”  Rev.
