KILLED BY FOLDING BED.
Dr. A. B. Allyn of Chardon Died as a Result of a Peculiar Accident in Cleveland
The closing of a folding bed resulted in the death
of Dr. A. B. Allyn, one of the best known physicians of Geauga County.
For many years Dr. Allyn practiced in Thompson, and then more recently in
Chardon, where he was the physician in charge at the Chardon sanitarium.
About two months ago Dr. Allyn suffered so
severely from a nervous complaint that he came to this city for treatment and
with his wife and son took apartments at the residence of Dr. Arthur O'Leary
at No. 601 Scovill avenue. He was treated by Drs. G. J. Jones and
J. Richey Horner, and remained in bed a large portion of the time.
The rooms occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Allyn
contained a large folding bed, which was set near to the wall and behind which
was a trunk. The head of the bed was fashioned into a very heavy wardrobe.
Last Saturday Mrs. Allyn desired to remove
something from this wardrobe, and in order to do so it was necessary to pull the
bed a short distance from the trunk. Dr. Allyn lay in the bed at
the time. In pulling the bed by the top the heavy wardrobe in some way
fell and came down upon the doctor. Mrs. Allyn endeavored to hold
it, but it was so heavy that she found this impossible, and called to Mrs.
O'Leary. Both women tried to raise it, but could do nothing more than
hold it up a trifle and call for help. Assistance arrived and the wardrobe
was lifted off Dr. Allyn. In falling it had so caught the doctor's
head as to force it down upon his breast, thus causing a concussion of the
spinal cord near the base of the brain.
Drs. El J. Wunderlich and W. T. Miller
were called and examined the patient, but could find no trace of a fracture of
any of the bones. The injury was such, however, that it soon produced an
inflammation of the spinal cord, which spread upwards and affected the brain,
causing paralysis of all the muscles except those of the head. The patient
seemed to improve, but Sunday night he lapsed into unconsciousness, and died
Monday morning.
The remains were taken to Chardon for interment.
Dr. Allyn was forty five years old, and a
graduate of the homeopathic medical college at Ann Arbor. He was n old
resident of Geauga county and well known there. Besides a widow, he leaes
two sons and a daughter, Wilfred Allyn, a son of Dr. Allyn, is
now attending the Cleveland Homeopathic college. |
