"SUDDEN DEATH OF A YOUNG MAN
Carey Vlier Died Thursday of Infection- Was Injured Sept 20
Sunday Sept 20 Carey suffered serious bruises and a wound under his left arm which required 10 stitches when he endeavored to put an enraged bull back into his stable. The animal had broken out from his stall and was in the barnyard. Carey was knocked to the ground and gored by the animal after he had made several attempts to snap the lead rope into the ring in the animal's nose. Medical aid was given at once and no serious effects were evident until about a week later when infection was discovered. ......................"
One of my mother's 5 sisters was married to Steven Vlier.
I was in their barn about 20 years later and the bull pen was made of 2-inch pipe.
The farm was east of Midland on the county line to Bay County. It is now home to many businesses including a new Costco, The county jail is there and an ice rink where the barn yard was. I make up a story the bull was shot and is buried under the face-off circle of the north ice rink.
Anyone else have an animal hurt human story? | |
