George Henry FURR
(1854 - June 17, 1928)
A Chapter of Accidents. Mr. Henry Furr, of Hughesville, Loudoun county, recently had his leg broken by the kick of a horse. Mr. Furr has certainly had a remarkable series of misfortunes. A few years ago all three of his children died of diphtheria. Last winter his residence and his meat house, with most of his furniture, his wearing apparel, and his meat were consumed by fire. Then someone raided his poultry house and robbed him of his poultry. Then rheumatism attacked him and he had to go upon crutches. He was just recovering from this when he met with this last accident. Mrs. Furr has become entirely blind. As Mr. Furr is comparatively a young man, his friends hope there are better days in store for him.
