With his son, Lowell Goodrich, he was engaged in sawing wood near his home in the northeast part of town, using a large circular power saw driven by a gasoline engine. The work had been stopped for a short time and when resumed the belt from the engine fly-wheel to the saw was put on backwards and when the engine was started again the saw started whirling in reverse. Mr. Goodrich called to his son to shut off the engine but before he could comply, the nut which held the saw in place came off permitting the saw to whirl off the shaft. In dropping it struck the carriage supporting the saw and then bounded off onto the ground, still whirling rapidly. Mr. Goodrich was standing nearby and the saw blade first struck his left leg about midway between the ankle and knee and then crawled right up his limb. The sharp teeth of the saw blade went clear through the bone, splitting the bone lengthwise, cut through the knee joint but missed the knee cap, and then continued its way through the femur (the large bone of the leg), splitting this lengthwise to a point about half way between the knee and hip, thus inflicting an open wound fully 18 inches in length. None of the large blood vessels were severed. Suffering great agony, Mr. Goodrich was rushed to the hospital by his son. There the split bones of the leg were pressed together and the gaping flesh wound sewed up. Both of Mr. Goodrich's arms had been partially paralyzed for years and he had long been obliged to wear a steel brace on his right leg, so that it was deemed advisable to make every human effort possible to save the left leg rather than to consider amputation, which would have left him hopelessly crippled. He withstood the shock of the accident and subsequent surgical treatment very satisfactorily and stood an excellent chance for recovery until a gas gangrenous infection developed which caused his death Sunday afternoon. Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Ross Funeral Home, conducted by Rev G. A. Patterson, pastor of the Baptist church. Owing to the inability of one of his sons to reach Hawarden in time for the funeral, interment in Grace Hill cemetery was postponed until Wednesday morning after the son's arrival. Albert Theodore Goodrich was born, in Mt. Ida, Grant county, Wis., Dec. 25, 1870, and died April 19, 1931, at the age of 60 years, 3 months and 24 days. He was united in marriage in 1889 with Jennie Lee. Ten children were born to this union, five of whom preceded him in death. He had made his home in Hawarden for the past 26 years. He was an honest, hard worker, performing many tasks which most men in his physical condition would never undertake. He is survived by three sons and two daughters, Walter Goodrich of New London, Wis.; Mrs. Delpha Yates and Lowell Goodrich of Hawarden; Mrs. Hayes Barr of Akron, and Ernest Goodrich of Chicago. He also leaves two brothers and two sisters, Lester, Harry, Edna and Gladys Goodrich, all of Fennimore, Wis., besides ten grandchildren.
