TERRIBLE ACCIDENT TAKES FARMER'S LIFE

Lloyd Henney Died at St.Lawrence Hospital Friday Night. Funeral at U.B. Church 
Friday Evening.

One of the most terrible accidents of the season occurred on the C.B. Carpenter 
farm northwest of Lake Odessa Friday evening.

Lloyd Henney, who was working the farm was preparing a lot just back of the barn 
for beans, when he met the accident that caused his death.

He had returned from coming to Claud Carpenter's Implement store and prepared to 
disk his field. In connecting the disk harrow to his tractor, being on the 
ground, he lost his footing while handling the clutch and the tractor backed on 
him throwing him down crushing his leg under the wheels.

As he saw his danger he called his son Forrest who drove the tractor off him and 
phoned for Dr. Peabody, who rendered first aid and called the Wortley Baine 
ambulance and he was take to St.Lawrence hospital where his leg which was so 
badly mangled was amputated.

Mr. Henney suffered terribly until the anesthetic was given and from which he 
never revived.

The Henney family are long time residents of Lake Odessa and are well  known as 
well as the family of his wife.

The family was held at Calvary U.B. church Monday afternoon. Rev. M.H.Dawson the 
pastor preaching and the music was by Leon Gilson and Mrs.Vera McCartney.

Burial was at Lake Side Cemetery.
                                 OBITUARY
Lloyd Henney was born in Campbell township, Michigan April 29, 1889, and died at 
St.Lawrence hospital, Lansing, June 22, 1929, at the age of 40 years, 1 month

He waas united in marriage t Lottie Bell Shellenbarger, May 7, 1910. To this 
union was born one child Forrest Henney, who with the bereaved wife mourn the 
loss of a loving husband and father.

Lloyd has always lived in and around Lake Odessa and was always of a cheerful 
disposition and always ready to lend a helping hand to all who were in need, but 
again we are reminded that in the midst of life we are in death.

Although the accident which resulted in his death came so suddenly yet God 
through His love and mercy gave him time too prepare to meet his God.

Lloyd will be missed in the neighborhood where he lived and by all who knew him. 
But God's will not ours be done.

He leaves to mourn his departure, his wife and son Forrest at home, a father, 
mother, two brothers, Claude and Edward, besides a host of friends.

Dear Lloyd how we miss thee
In our home a vacant chair
But theres one great thought 
consoles us
We can meet thee over there.
"Tis hard these things to understand
but we must be resigned to Him
Who is too wise to err,
Too good to be unkind"
                          CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our thanks for the kindness and sympathy and for flowers, 
also to those for the use of their cars at the time of the death of our dear 
husband and father.
                        Mrs. Lloyd Henney,
                           Forrest Henney.
