The Cambria freeman. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: September 30, 1871
A young man named Jordan Mardis, son of Jos. Mardis, Esq., of Blacklick twp., who
died Tuesday last from the effects of a wound inflicted on one of his knees, a
couple of weeks ago, by a penknife which he was attempting to open by a slight of
hand maneuver, and which flew from his grasp in the effort, the blade penetrating
his knee and severing an artery and producing other injuries which after very severe
suffering have unfortunately proved fatal. He was a young man some twenty odd years
of age, but still lived with his parents, who have our earnest sympathy in their sad
bereavement. His death should serve as a warning against the careless handling of
knives and other sharp implements.
