NEWS #2 - Journal-Gazette, Fort Wayne (IN) - August 8, 1912. TWO WABASH LADS CRUSHED TO DEATH IN ELEVATOR CORN BIN. Wabash, Ind., Aug. 7--Max Morrow, 11 years old, son of former Deputy County Treasurer Garland Morrow, and Frank Jackson, twelve years old, met sudden death in a corn bin at the Morrow Grain company's elevator here late this afternoon. The boys were playing about the mouth of the container, which was filled with one thousand bushes of shelled corn that was to be loaded in cars standing below. Jackson's younger brother was standing nearby at the time and seeing his companions disappear, hurridly ran down two long flights of stairs to notify the workmen below. The chute was closed at once and the men dashed up to the bin where they began shoveling out the grain in their attempts to reach the victims. However, it required forty-five minutes to remove enough of the corn to rescue the lads and when they were taken out, both were dead.
