Read More	Published in The Rochester Sentinel Thursday, August 17, 1905 A most shocking accident occurred Wednesday evening, south of town, where the STEVENS farm ditch crosses the Michigan Road. Sam HORN, Jr., aged 23 years, who has been teamster for the DOWNS sawmill for several years, was hauling logs and met a shocking death in trying to repair his wagon. He had pulled his load out of the field and at the grade up to the pike, his team had evidently stalled and he unhitched and used the block and tackle, a device of ropes and pulleys much more powerful for a team than a direct pull. In so doing the coupling pole of the heavily loaded wagon had evidently broken so that Horn left the team standing, hitched to the blocks, and went to the wagon, to make repairs. And there he was found, some time later, by A. D. ROBBINS and Will ROUCH, hanging dead under the wagon, his head and neck pinioned up against the loaded logs by the broken coupling pole. The alarm was at once given and Kenneth, John and Bent DOWNS and Pete LOWE were soon at the wagon, and took the body from its kneeling position and its vice of death. Soon after, undertakers Val and Leo ZIMMERMAN arrived, and found the jaw broken in two places, one ear badly torn, and bruises about the head and neck indicating that the blow from the up flying coupling pole would have produced death and also that the vice-like pressure on the neck would have choked him to death. The body was brought in to the Zimmerman morgue and prepared for burial and after the coroner's inquest today, was taken to the home of the boy's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Sam HORN, east of town. Just how long the accident occurred before it was discovered by Robbins and Rouch is not definitely known, but surely not long as other teams were passing from time to time and he would have been discovered. It is believed that Horn was trying to repair the cracked coupling pole when it broke and caught him with a terrific blow as it required a pry and four men on it to release the body from pressure. The funeral will be Friday at 2 o'clock at the residence of his parents, two miles east of Rochester, on the Ft. Wayne road. Interment at Odd Fellows cemetery. John ROONEY and Francis RICHARD attended the funeral of Mrs. James McCLUNG, Sunday. (Athens item) SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obits/Biogs - 1905-1907 by Wendell C. Tombaugh
