Injured In
Tractor Accident
T. B. Odel. 81, of Rt. 1, Mill
Spring was injured Wednesday
afternoon when a tractor
overturned on him. His son,
Albert Odel, took another tractor
and pulled the WD 45 Allis
Chambers off of him and he was
rushed to St. Luke's Hospital.
After x-rays were taken, all that
could be found wrong with him
were two cracked ribs and
bruises.
Mr Odel, had a tree fall on him
in 1974 when he was 75 and
suffered serious internal injuries.
He had cut a big tree which
lodged against a smaller tree and
in attempting to cut the smaller
tree to release the big one, both
trees came down on him before
he could jump to safety.
Although 81, Mr. Odel doesn't
believe in sitting down and
twiddling his thumbs. He has led
an active life for himself and the
community. He once operated a
dairy, served for over 20 years on
the Polk County School Board, is
a member of the Woodman’s
Lodge and the Big Level Baptist
Church.
