Ionia Standard, 24 Apr 1914

John Carrow of Collins, brother of Mrs. Herbert Martin of this city, was killed 
Monday afternoon by a traction engine on which he was working.  He and another 
man were going with the engine from the Ginnebaugh farm to Redemsky’s and were 
on the hill on the Kelsey road just south of this city in the middle of the 
afternoon.  Mr. Carrow started to go back to the bunk house, attached in the 
rear, which was somewhat above the level of the engine.  He tried to jump from 
one to the other but miscalculated the distance and slipped under the wheels of 
the bunk house.  He was dragged eight or ten rods before the engine could be 
stopped and he rescued.

It was about five o’clock when he was brought here to the city hospital.  He 
was unconscious from the moment when he was picked up.  Several ribs were 
broken and he was suffering internal hemorrhages.  Everything possible was done 
for him, but the case seemed hopeless from the start.  At half-past nine 
operation was attempted as a last resort, but it only confirmed the fears.  The 
internal injuries were very severe.  He died at a quarter past eleven.

Mr. Carrow was thirty years old.  He leaves a father, three sisters and a 
brother.  The brother, Will Carrow of Reed City, and one sister, Miss Lillian 
Carrow of Portland, are here.  The father, Wm. Carrow of Wayne, is expected 
here to attend the funeral.  The deceased has worked in the vicinity all his 
life and is well known.  The funeral was at the home of Herbert Martin, Bagley 
street, at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon.
