Wife of Henry Ward Beecher has narrow escape in carriage accident

Eunice Beecher, the wife of the famous Reverend Henry Ward Beecher, suffered severe injuries when the two-wheel chaise she was driving to meet her husband at a railroad depot in New York, smashed into the steps of the Brooklyn Bank.  She struck her head and was rendered unconscious. A servant was also slightly injured.  Though some newspapers reported her near death, she was fully recovered in a week and lived to be 85.  (By John Osborne)
