Worker Caught in Belt, Badly Injured
PULASKI, Nov. 17.-A fracture of the right forearm and a scalp wound which required 10 stitches to close, as well as other severe injuries were suffered yesterday by Horace G. Farrington, when his arm was caught in the rapidly revolving belting at the coal trestle of Grant Farrington & Son, S. Jefferson st., and in vicinity of the passenger station of the New York Central lines.
Victim of accident is a member of the firm. Mr. Farrington, who is about 25 years old, was engaged in putting a non-slip powder on the revolving belt and in some manner his arm was drawn into the belting, his body being whirled around the shaft and the injuries suffered before he could be released by an employe who witnesses the accident.
That he did not meet with more severe Injuries seems almost like a miracle. He was attended by Dr. Fenton E. MacCallum. to whose office he was taken, and later removed to the home of his parents in Richland road. The attending physician stated last night that he did not consider the young man in a serious condition. Ethel M Farrington (GFG -C), 1897-1991 married Earl Charles Dexter, 1889-1975.

Another' Gold Mine Found in Herkimer
Despite the fact property is bringing its lowest price in years, land along the Osborne Hill road in Herkimer county may become worth its weight in gold in the next few months as result of the announcement of discovery of the precious metal on the Allen Folts place in the Kast Bridge section.
Gold has been discovered in large quantities, according to Lester Helmer, whose family .owns and lives on the farm. He says there are several veins located on the farm, although further investigation is needed before work can be started mining it. Mr. Helmer plans to sink a shaft.
He declared that fifteen pounds of the precious metal has already been secured, and added, "I believe it will be profitable to mine the gold."
Cherry Valley had a "gold rush" but failed to produce in paying quantity. Another and later gold mine has been discovered in Delaware county. The value of gold has increased since the government's new monetary policy.
Back in 1877 a large barn was constructed on the farm and during the excavation workmen came across the vein-which-runs-directly-underneath the barn. At that time it was believed the metal was mica.
The matter was forgotten until two years ago when Howard Helmer, son of Lester Helmer, was building a new home about 800 feet from the barn. While digging the cellar, the vein was again found and Mr. Helmer sent specimens to Washington to determine what the metal was. It has been definitely determined that it is gold.- Obituary (The Observer-Dispatch, Utica, NY, Tuesday, December 16, 1975)
