Decatur County Journal Leon, Iowa Thursday, November 30, 1911 C.F. KENTNER, of Leon, who was injured on November 16th, near Weldon, is recovering from the effects of the accident nicely. Mr. KENTNER was working for ARTHUR HOOVER a half mile west of Weldon, shucking corn. On the morning of November 16th, he was at work in the field and was driving a team of young horses attached to the wagon into which he was throwing the corn as he gathered it. He was near the front end of the wagon when the horses became frightened and started to run. Mr. KENTNER grabbed the lines and the horses jerked him under the wagon, one of the front wheels passing over his right shoulder. The wagon contained about twenty-three bushels of corn at the time and the heavy wagon with the extra weight of the load of corn, caused painful injuries. In spite of his bruises Mr. KENTNER got up and started after the runaway team. The horses ran into a fence where Mr. HOOVER, who had seen the runaway from a distance, caught them. Mr. KENTNER returned to his home in this city where he has been since the accident. No bones were fractured which was most remarkable. --------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert December 24, 2009 [email protected]
