W.P. Radcliffe, injured in Elgin, Ill., 1881
The Valley Chronicle (St. Charles, Illinois), 1 July 1881:
W. P. Radcliffe was severely injured at the Elgin watch factory, on Tuesday last. In some unexplainable way he punched his hand through the window in front of him while oiling his lathe, and lacerated his thumb very badly.
