Dead was Alton Markham, a lifelong resident of Mitchell county. The accident occurred about 10:15 a.m. as Markham was helping with the corn harvest on the Galen Jacobs farm, eight miles southeast of Osage. Jacobs said he left Markham in the field as he drove a load of corn to the farm yard and when he returned, found Markham's body upright against the picker elevator. Markham's coveralls had caught in the picker machinery and wound around his neck. Mitchell County Coroner Dr. R. L. Whitley ruled that death was due to strangulation. He said Markham's neck had been broken. Markham was born in 1884 near Osage, the son of William and Jennie Markham. He is survived by his wife, three brothers, Ray and William, of Osage and John, of Lyle, Minn., and a sister, Mrs. George Bush, of Anthony, Minn. A sister Mrs. Pearl Hobkirk preceded him in death.
