I'm a namesake of Holbrook Blinn, he being a paternal great uncle by marriage. One of the family stories about him is that the fall from the horse is not what killed him, rather it was the onset of gangrene after what I believe was a broken arm. He refused amputation and died from the resulting infection. I'm in possession of his death mask, the creation of which seems to have been a fairly common practice in the decade in which he died.
