The Ionia Standard, Friday, September 16, 1910

Arthur Normington, who was so badly injured Friday, died at 11:15 Sunday 
morning.  He lived on the Wolverton farm, four miles south of city on Bellevue 
road, his wife being a daughter of C. L. Wolverton.  At the time of the 
accident he was helping three other men get a separator out of barn, as before 
noted.  He and one other had hold of the short tongue, while two others were 
behind with blocks to put under wheels, in case the descent became too fast.  
As it proved, the blocks were not big enough, and when the wheels passed over 
the blocks, those behind shouted to those in front to let go and get out of 
the way.  Normington became cramped in such position that he could not obey 
warning and was struck in the side by wheel and pushed along a considerable 
distance.  The wheel did not pass over him but his side was crushed in 
terribly, breaking the ribs and causing internal injuries from which he was 
unable to rally.

His age was only 28.  He was a son of W. Normington, formerly of Ronald, now 
of city.  He leaves a wife and one child, father and mother, three brothers 
and seven sisters.

The funeral will be held on Tuesday afternoon, 1 o’clock at the house, 2 at 
the Brick church.  Service by Rev. E. E. Sprague, assisted by Rev. E. E. 
Branch.  Interment, Balcom cemetery.
