Daily Dispatch (Washington, DC)
26 August 1883
Says the Manassas Gazette:
Mr. Hiram Stevenson, who lives near Independent Hill, in this county, was very seriously injured several days ago. Whilst going down a hill with a load of cross-ties, and being unable to lock the wheels of his wagon, the horses, from the pressure of the weight, became unmanageable. In trying to stop his team Mr. Stevenson was thrown to the ground, both wheels of the wagon passing over his body. One of his knees was crushed severely and a thigh dislocated. He is in the neighborhood of sixty years of age, and though his injuries are most serious his physician reports his condition as hopeful.
Alexandria Gazette
14 June 1879
As Mr. S. B. Howell, of Independent Hill, Prince William county, in company with his wife and sister in law were crossing the railroad track in a spring wagon, on Monday evening last, the horse attached to the carriage became frightened at the cars and ran off, throwing the occupants out, but without any serious injury to them. The horse disengaged himself from the carriage, breaking the traces and other portions of the harness, and kicking the dash board to pieces.
