Read More	The Edgar Sun (Edgar, NE) Fri, Jun 26, 1936 - pg. 1 Charles Woodhead Killed When Run Over by Binder The community was shocked to hear of the death of "Charley" Woodhead, who was fatally injured when run over by a binder at his farm home Wednesday morning about 10:30 o'clock. The accident occurred when he and his son, Orville, were taking the binder to the field. The two stopped on the way and put the machine into gear to see how it would work as it had not been used for three years. Mr. Woodhead held the horses heads while his son threw the binder into gear. Then, when the horses started up, the noise of the binder frightened them and they bolted, dragging Mr. Woodhead in front of them for about fifty feet. When the horses crossed a ditch Mr. Woodhead was shaken loose and thrown under the binder frame and crushed to death as the heavy machinery passed over him, most of the bones in his body were broken. The McGhie ambulance was called and started to the Sutton hospital with the injured man, but he died on the way. Orville, who was driving the horses, was thrown to the canvas platform when they ran away and was unable to stop them until they had gone about 80 rods. Charles Edward Woodhead was born at Kenosha, Wisconsin, Sept 27, 1870, and died on June 24, 1936 at the age of 65 years, 8 months and 27 days. On December 30, 1900, he was united in marriage to Miss May Conn and to this union one son, Orville was born. Besides his wife and son he is survived by two brothers, Jim of Edgar and Willie of Grand Island and two sisters, Mrs. Nellie Ashton of Twin Falls, Idaho, and Mrs. Carrie O'Keefe of Galveston Texas. His parents and two brothers have preceded him in death. He came to Clay County in 1871 with his parents who homesteaded on the farm three miles east and three miles north of Edgar where he lived and has farmed all his life. Funeral services were to be held at 2:30 Friday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church with Rev T. S. Hughes in charge. Interment will be in the Prairie View Cemetery.
