He had come down the river on a scow, bringing his family, some roofing and other building materials with him. In the summer of 1910 John had an unfortunate accident in which he lost his right arm. He had reached into a load of hay to remove a shot gun. Unbeknown to him, it had been entangled with the hay, which caused it to fire. This so damaged his right arm that his son Art, who was working a government building in Ponoka, had to go to Edmonton to get a doctor. He and the doctor rode the train as far as Vermilion, then hired a livery team to take them the rest of the way. After three days of anxiety, suffering and waiting, family rejoiced at seeing the two of them arrive. After doctor had completed his examination, it fell upon Art to give his Dad the sad news that his arm would have to be amputated four inches from the shoulder. This took some convincing but Art had persuasive ways. So Dad's arm was operated upon, with Art assisting the doctor. Dad was in bed very weak from loss of blood when they came, but they left two days later, he was sitting up by the stove. Dad was such a good Christian and had such faith that he said whatever happened would be all right........a memory from daughter Ada. Source: Nancy Addison (49450135)
