Annamoriah resident Tony Arthur was released from a Huntington hospital Sunday,
returning home to recover from second and third degree burns to his arms. Arthur
barely escaped death when his hay mower clipped a gas pipe in the middle of a
meadow on June 9.
A high-pressure gas line ignited, causing a roaring fire which consumed his farm
tractor. (SEE Herald 6/9/01).
"I am very fortunate." said Arthur, who has received skin grafts on much of his arms.
Arthur and his wife went to Grantsville Monday to "Get a haircut that I have really
needed."
The family stated it may be several months before he will be able to return to
work.
