(Note: I can't seem to find anything on this family. There is a marriage record for Mary SULLINS marrying John MEADOR 16 Jun 1857, Marion county, Illinois. There is also a marriage record for a John MEADOR marrying an Elizabeth SPIDLE 14 Mar 1862, Marion County, Illinois. There was a John MEADOR born 1833, Tennesse to Bennett and Juda MEADOR, who settled in Patoka Township, Marion County, Illinois. This John could have married Mary SULLENS and then she died and he married Elizabeth SPIDLE. There is a census record in 1860 for a John (27) and Mary (24) MEADOWS living in Patoka Township, Marion County, Illinois. John was said to have been born in Tennessee and Mary in Ohio. It is possible they just put down her wrong birth state, but it is the correct birth date for Mary SULLENS. There is a grave stone for John MEADOR, son of Bennett MEADOR in the MEADOR Cemetery in Patoka Township. It only his his birth date of 1833 and his has brother on it, which makes one think that this John was never married.)

He was immediately taken to the office of Dr. J.B. HOLSON where the limb was given surgical attention by Drs. HOLSON and AKESTER, after which he was removed to the Park View hotel where he remained till No. 6 Sunday night when he was taken to the Effingham hospital where he will remain till he fully recovers. It is a sad accident as Mr. SULLENS is a young man of good habits is industrious and honest and is held in high esteem by all who know him. He was born and raised on a farm near Alma and is well known here. Word from Effingham says that he is getting along nicely and will be able to return home in a few weeks. Parties who saw the accident say the train was running about five or six miles an hour and stopped immediately after the accident occurred.
