Caption

(1804-1883) NE corner S. Washington and High. Mr. Powers was a granite cutter. The day after Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, a visitor was unloading powder from an artillery shell on Solomon’s porch. They wee striking it on a stone to remove the spherical shot. It exploded, necessitating the amputation of both the visitor’s hands and cutting-in-two 14-year-old Allen Frazer, who stood nearby.
