Emmack Is Fatally Injured in Accident Metz Area Farmer Pinned Beneath a Tractor Saturday After attending the funeral of a cousin Saturday afternoon, a Metz farmer, Elmer C. Emmack, 72, died when his farm tractor rolled on top of him as he was performing an errand following the services. Mr. Emmack had attended rites for Harry Emmack Saturday afternoon at Colfax. When he returned, Mr. Emmack decided to deliver a wagon to the Lute Wormely [actually it was Phil "Lupe" Lane] farm at Metz. Mr. Emmack lived about one-half mile from Metz. He pulled the wagon with a farm tractor on the highway [actually just the Metz road in front of his house and across the tracks], and witnesses said, pulled over to the right on the shoulder as he met four cars coming toward him. Over Too Far The tractor got over too far, rolled down the eight foot embankment landing on top of Mr. Emmack. County Coroner Ralph Toland said Emmack suffered a broken neck and was killed instantly. First to reach the victim was L. T. Clark, Route 1, Colfax, followed closely by Floyd Mulbrook, Route 2, Newton. Mr. Emmack was almost up to the driveway of the farm where he was going when the accident happened. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at two o'clock at the First Lutheran church in Newton, Rev. F. D. Boldt officiating. Burial will be in Sugar Grove cemetery. Born in Illinois Mr. Emmack was born in New Boston, Ill., on Nov. 10, 1878, to Charles and Effie Emmack. When he was two years old, the family moved to Muscatine, and three years later moved to Jasper county, where he received his education. Mr. Emmack was married on Sept. 28, 1898, to Georgia Miller, and the couple farmed in the Metz vicinity. He was a member of the Metz Baptist church and was secretary-treasurer of the Sugar Grove cemetery organization. He is survived by his widow, three sons, Dale of Prairie City, Donovan and Delmar of Newton, two daughters, Mrs. Glen Blackledge and Mrs. Richard Sille of Newton, one brother, G. B. Emmack of Monroe, and 13 grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, a foster sister, Jennie Phillips, and one son, Myron.
