Harvest Accident Kills
Sherman County Farmer
Frank C. Schumacher, about 45
yean old, assisting with the harvest
on the Pienon brothers farm north
east of Moro, was caught in the ma
chinery of the combine he was oiling
Monday morning about 11 o’clock
and so severely injured that he died
at 6:45 Monday evening.
According to reports of the acci
dent, by members of the threshing
crew, Mr, Schumacher was filling
grease cups near the jackshaft when
the sleeve of his jumper was caught
by a set screw and he was drawn into
the moving machinery.
His body
showed bruises at many different
places, but his death was thought to
have been caused by an injury to the
base of his spine which caused
paralysis of the respiratory organs.
When caught by the machine,
Schumacher was pulled under the
dog house. As he felt himself being
pulled under the shaft he called
to the men to stop the machine
which was done almost immediately.
When removed from his dangerous
position he was taken across the field
about half a mile to the home of J. H.
Constant where first aid was admin
istered until arrival of Dr. J. A. Won
derlick from Wasco and Dr. W. N.
Morse from The Dalles, who soon dis
covered that very little hope could be
held’ for his recovery from the acci
dent. Reports state that Dr. Won
derlick reached the scene of the acci
dent 27 minutes a^ter being notified
and that Dr. Morse reached the scene
1 hour 32 minutes after notice
reached him at The Dalles.
Coroner C. L. Poley was called
Tuesday morning end an inquest and
hearing was held at the scene of the
accident with the following named
serving as jurors: N. P. Hansen,
Hans Thompson, J. H. Constant,
Clifford Constant, Vai Workman and
W. J. Brownley. Miss Bessie Ander
sen acted as stenographer for the
coroner at the inquest.
Mr. Schumacher was unmarried
and had recently proven up on a
homestead in the neighborhood in
which the accident occurred. It has
been ascertained that his mother and
a sister live at Kent, Minnesota, a
sister lives at Cordova, Alaska, and
a brother at Tracy, Minnesota. - Un
der instructions from his brother, the
remains was shipped to Tracy, Min
nesota, by train Wednesday, after
being embalmed and prepared for in
terment by Zell Funeral Home.
A field fire, presumably set by
one who had carelessly thrown a
