I'm sorry to tell you this. My neighbor died Monday evening it a terrible tractor accident. My neighbor that lives one property over, a Deputy Sherrif, that patrols our area noticed the barn open and lights on. Realizing this wasn't normal he pulled in to check and found Mr. Miller.
We learned through Mr. Miller's son he was having starter motor issues on his old Ford 8N. Somehow, he left the tractor in gear and at full throttle. He wedged himself between the rear and front wheels and used a screwdriver to short the starter solenoid. I understand Mr. Miller was badly mutilated and death came quickly. Mr. Miller was 82.
