A Note From 1910 About A Young Hunchback

From the November 19, 1910 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

Pottsville, Pa.–Mistaken for a dog in the gathering dusk last evening, Michael Bolemius, a 12-year-old hunchback, was run over by a heavy delivery wagon and killed after having been knocked down by the horses of a preceding wagon.  Death was instantaneous. The drivers were today exonerated from blame.”
