Birth: Aug. 18, 1840 Seymour Jackson County Indiana, USA Death: Oct. 27, 1915 Mount Pleasant Henry County Iowa, USA Mt. Pleasant News. Oct. 25, 1915 AGED MAN BADLY INJURED Mr. Henry Saint an aged man who lives in rooms in the Howe Apartments, opposite the sand pipe, was run down this evening at the southwest corner of the square by Mr. Asbury Jay, who was driving a Ford touring car. Mr. Saint was seriously injured. Mr. Jay had parked his car on the west side of the the square and had just started for home. He was just making the crossing at the southwest corner heading down South Jefferson street when he noticed the old man in the middle of the street. The old gentleman saw the car and losing his head started first ahead and then back and then ahead and then back. Mr. Jay in trying to dodge the old gentleman kept heading first one way and then the other. The car struck Mr. Saint fairly and with considerable force. He was knocked down and run over. He was at once taken to his rooms and Doctors Laird and Lessenger examined him for injuries. It was found that the left arm was broken just above the wrist while three very serious gashes were found on the scalp. At the time of going to press the seriousness of the injuries cannot be judged but the indications are that the old gentleman is pretty badly hurt and possibly fatally. Mr. Saint is an old soldier and lived alone. He has a sister, Mrs. Delvin living on North Lincoln street. The accident was one of those regrettable ones in which no one can be blamed. The auto was running under regulation speed and the driver did everything possible to avoid the old gentleman, who on account of poor eyesight and hearing was unable to see where he was at or what to do. Mt. Pleasant News Oct. 26, 1915, p. 2. INJURIES ARE FATAL PHYSICIANS OFFER NO HOPE FOR RECOVERY OF MR. SAINT Internal Injuries-Has Not regained Consciousness May not Live Another Day The condition of Mr. Henry Saint, the aged soldier who was run over by an automobile on the southwest corner of the square Monday afternoon, is very critical. He has not regained consciousness and his physicians fear that he will hardly live another day. Aside from the fractured arm there are three very serious scalp wounds, one of which took twenty stitches to close and all three being clear to the bone. Aside from this there are evidences of serious internal injuries. No one attaches any blame to Mr. Jay, the driver of the car, as Mr. Saint was so confused in his movements that Mr. Jay could not even guess which way he would dodge next. Mt.
