HEART PIERCED
When Homer Evans Fell on Handle of Harrow

Homer Green EVANS met death in a very peculiar manner Sunday morning in a
barn on the farm of Mr. John H. WEBB, about a mile and a half from Ruddles
Mills. Mr. EVANS resided on the Republican pike and with his wife and
daughter were spending Sunday with Mr. WEBB. He and several others went
into the barn to get out of the rain and while there he climbed up into the
barn to look at some tobacco. In some way he lost his balance and fell onto
a Randall harrow, the handle striking him in the chest, breaking a rib and
piercing his heart. "Boys, I am killed!" he said and within a minute life's
spark passed out. The fatal accident was witnessed by a brother, Charles
EVANS, Harvey TAPP and two sons of Mr. J. H. WEBB. Homer EVANS was the son
of Mr. J. D. EVANS, a well known farmer. He married a daughter of Mr.
William ARDERY about three years ago and she, with one child, survive him.
The deceased was an industrious yon h standing, and his untimely death is
the source of general regret throughout the community. The funeral services
were held at his late residence Tuesday afternoon and the remains were
interred at Battle Grove Cemetery.
