From The Norfolk Virginian, Jan. 1, 1897
14-year-old Moses Allmond and 16-year-old John Allmond of Isle of Wight County had a battle with slingshots using brickbats as ammunition. The situation turned dire when one of John’s projectiles hit Moses in the face. The bit crashed through his skull and lodged just above his left eye. Physicians were able to remove the item with great difficulty.
