Narrow Escape From Death.--While running a tractor on his farm four miles south of Huntsville, about four o'clock Monday afternoon, Porter Eubank, prominent farmer, and president of the County Farm Bureau, came near meeting death. He was driving the tractor, while a negro boy was doing the plowing with a cultivator hooked to the tractor. In making a turn Mr. Eubank backed the tractor so near the bank of Sweet Spring Creek, which runs through portions of his farms, that the machine slipped off the bank, turning completely over into three feet of water, carrying Mr. Eubank with it, and his escape from death is miraculous. He received two long gashes on the head, one cut on the arm and leg, but otherwise was not injured. His brother, Dave Eubank, brought him to town and the cuts were dressed by Dr. Bragg, and at last accounts Porter was doing nicely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Porter B. Eubanks B:8-19-1883 d: 1-16-1970 lived 86 years. Buried in Oakland Cemetery, Moberly, Randolph CO. MO . Porter was a miller by trade. He inherited the Bagby Mill when he married The owners youngest daughter on June 20-1906, Kathryn Bagby. Daughter of James Harrison Bagby & Nancy Henretta Ferguson. Porter & Kathryn ran the Bagby Mill unlil her death on 3-25-1925. They did not have any children. I'm not positive how much longer the Mill stayed in operation. One of the grinding stones can be seen by the side of Huntsville Courthouse. Porter married Virginia May Walker on Sept 15. 1936. I believe they had a daughter named Mildred Louise Eubanks. I have no data on Va, Mildred or Dave Eubanks James M. Bagby Indep MO.
