THE LUDINGTON DAILY RECORD, Ludington, Michigan
Thursday, Aug 26th, 1880
VOL. XIII.  OLD SERIES, NO. 51
VOL. I  NEW SERIES, NO. 14

   Malon Abbey, of Amber township, met with a severe accident
in the "Sauble Settlement" on Wednesday, August 18th, in passing
over the tumbling rod of Tracy's threshing machine, his overalls
caught on the rod.  To save himself he caught the "table" and
held himself from being drawn under the rod, but his leg was
mangled in a shocking manner.  The right foot was turned in,
disjointed at the ankle, and the flesh stripped up till the
bones of the leg protruded.  Dr. Meade, of Manistee, dressed
the wound, when he was moved home, and is now under the care
of Dr. Short.

Malon Abbey, whose death is mentioned elsewhere, was one of
Victory's best and most respected citizens; he had been, for
several terms, a supervisor from that township, and received
the uniform confidence and esteem of all parties, both as an
officer and a man, he was one of those retiring modest men,
whose worth alone proclaim their merit.  It was impossible
to know him without being possessed with an affectionate
regard and respect for his true manhood and unassuming worth.
Immediately at the close of the war he came to this locality
and has been a resident of Victory since.  Another of our
pioneers taken suddenly away while still in the prime of 
life and usefulness.  He leaves a wife and young family who
were dependent on his exertions for support.
