Palo Farmer Killed When Horses Bolt

Homer Henry Nordman, 71-year-old Palo resident and for 15 years an employe of the
Ionia Pottery company before his retirement, was fatally injured Saturday afternoon
when a young team of horses he was holding bolted.

The accident occurred on the farm of Nordman’s son, Ralph W. Nordman, who lives four
miles south of Palo.  He was holding a pair of young horses hitched to a wagon when
they became frightened by a threshing machine.  Nordman was dragged 90 feet before
he was run over by the heavy farm wagon.  The wagon ran over his hip, leg, and arm. 
Taken to the Carson City hospital, Nordman died at 8:10 o’clock Saturday night.  The
accident took place about 4:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon.

He is survived by his son, a step-daughter, Mrs. Maxine Braman, of Ionia, five
grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Funeral services are to be held from the Myers funeral home in Ionia Wednesday
afternoon at 2:30 o’clock.  Burial will be at Highland Park cemetery, Ionia.
