The Ledger Wednesday August 28, 1895 page 3 col 3 He Was Scalded to Death Greene Shelman, who lived on a farm two miles south of Glasgow, met with a terrible and fatal accident Friday evening. In company with other men, none of whom knew much about the operation of the machinery, he attempted to move a traction engine. In descending a slight grade the machine became unmanageable and Shelman was caught between the engine and the footboard of the separator. His arm broke the water gauge, and while he was pinioned there, possibly five minutes, steam poured from the boiler on the upper portion of his body, frightfully scalding his arms, breast and face. When the poor fellow was finally removed he was in a post pitiable condition. Dr Fordyce of this city and Dr Clement of Glasgow were called to see him, and while they were able to relieve his suffering somewhat they were powerless to save his life. The poor fellow died Sunday morning, after thirty-six hours of intense pain and suffering. Shelman was about thirty years of age, and most of his life had been spent in the locality in which he died. He was a man who was very generally respected. A wife of two children survive him.
