Former resident Ira Babcock killed in Burlington Iowa
A Burlington dispatch reports Ira Babcock, a well known former Freeport resident now living in Town, died after being struck by a switch engine and falling from a bridge while attempting to board. He suffered a severe leg injury, underwent amputation, and died soon after. He was employed by Gilbert and Sledge Lumber Co and leaves a family. Col J Buck showcased the Minneapolis Lightsteal Binder, a steel framed harvesting machine, to a group including Hon HL Burthard, demonstrating its operation in heavy winter wheat. The device’s steel frame, lighter weight, and new binding mechanism impressed observers as a successful improvement over wood framed harvesters.
