Grandfather of James A. Dodd, Sr. -Memorial #84691955

Died in Farm Accident

A farmer,
he and wife Stella,lived Milam Cnty most of their lives.They lived on the Cox Place near Sharp, West TX and later at Ben Arnold, TX.

He was fatally injured on farm at Ben Arnold, TX when mules bolted as he was going down a small hillside road running a hay wagon and he was seated up on top of the stacked bales. Upon reaching the bottom of the hill was a creek that crossed the road -- a sudden jolt of the wagon pitched him off of the top of the bales of hay onto the ground between the wagon and the mules. The wagon wheels ran over him crushing his chest. He died later in a Cameron, TX hospital.

Son Louie T. and his wife Alma Ruth (Lively) Dodd (My Grandparents/Paula Dodd Barnes) in Ben Arnold, Texas when his Daddy James Ashley Dodd was injured in a farming accident from which he died of his injuries a couple of days later. The hay wagon was loaded high, Daddy Jim Dodd was atop the bales holding the reigns of the mules. as he was approaching a stream headed downhill, the wagon speed overtook the mules, they bolted - Grandpa Dodd dropped the reigns when he was thrown upward and fell between the mules and wagon - he was ran over by the wagon wheels. The immense load weight crushed him internally.
