From the Richmond Dispatch, 9/25/1887, p. 8, c. 3

Mr. Farrell Getting Well.

Mr. J. S. Farrell, who six weeks ago in an accident at the Tredegar Iron-Works had his collar-bone and two ribs broken and received what at the time were considered serious internal injuries, is able to be on the streets again, carrying his right arm in a sling. He will leave early this week for his home in the State of Maine.

When injured Mr. Farrell had been employed at these works but two days. He said to a Dispatch reporter yesterday that the treatment when he received at the hands of the company had been much more generous than he had any reason to expect. All of his expenses have been borne, and he has been furnished with funds that will amply reimburse him so far as the loss of time is concerned.
