Tragic Orchard Worker Dies Under Tractor Near Winchester
Price, a prominent local fruit grower and resident of Fairmount avenue, was found dead about 7:45 p.m. three miles northeast of Winchester, buried in mud beneath a tractor he had used in his orchard. He appears to have dismounted and been crushed when the machine’s drive wheel passed over him. A faithful collie dog guided Mrs. Lucy A. Price and his son, Shirley Price, to the scene as investigators and a tow crew prepared to remove the body. The death likely occurred from a crushed abdomen and hips, with heavy bleeding during attempts to free himself. The body was buried in mud under the tractor as rain-soaked ground softened.
