  1. Wentworth Bagley Crane, Jr. says he would have lost more than his fingers if he hadn't pulled his hand out of the corn shredder. This accident occurred before WB was born. The ironic thing is that Robert Eddy's son, WB Sr., lost the same 2 fingers on the same hand in an accident. A dynamite cap fell on a hot stove and WB tried to remove it, but before he could, it exploded taking his fingers with it. So Father and son had the same 2 fingers missing on the same hand. 27 Sep 2010.
