From the Democrat Messenger Waynesburg, Pennsylvania (Greene County) Thursday, October 13, 1938
NECK BROKEN BY IMPACT OF GIANT POPLAR
Milton Ankrom, 73, Failed to Hear Warning by Woodsmen and Walked Into Instant Death.
SKULL FRACTURED
JEFFERSON, Oct. 12 - Apparently failing to hear the danger shouts of two timbermen as they felled a large poplar tree on the Bill Cowan farm near Homeville at 12:10 o'clock this afternoon, Milton Ankrom, 73, was struck by the tree and instantly killed.
Coroner Raymond Adamson, who conducted an investigation, said that Ankrom suffered a fractured skull and also a broken neck. It is believed that defective hearing caused the man to miss the warnings of the timbermen.
J. E. Fox and Mr. Cowan who were chopping the large tree, which was estimated at being nearly 150 feet high, said that they called to Ankrom just as the tree started to snap and that he became confused and walked directly into its path. Robert Knicely was watching the two men chop the tree, but escaped injury.
Mr. Ankrom was a son of the late Richard and Hettie Morris Ankrom and had lived near Homeville for the past six years. His wife, Mrs. Mary Shaw Ankrom died a few years ago. Surviving are four children: Edward Ankrom, of Mather; Jesse Ankrom, of Waynesburg; Mrs. Elsie Willis of Jefferson Township, and Miss Amanda Ankrom, of Brownsville. The following brothers and sisters also survive: Mrs. Mary Parshall and Mrs. Martha Morris, both of Ninevah; Mrs. Sadie Morris, William Ankrom and John Ankrom, all of Jefferson Township.
