Emory D. Grider Lingers Several Days With Broken Neck

Decedent and Cousin Were Thrown Wagon - Latter, of Pleasant Plains, Suffers Four Fractured Ribs

GRIDER - Died, at 12:30 o'clock Thursday morning, Aug. 13, 1914, at the family residence in Divernon township of injuries suffered last Friday noon when he was thrown from a wagon, Emery D. Girder, aged 54 years.

Mr. Grider's death resulted from a broken neck, according to physicians, the coroner's jury having returned a verdict of death from injuries. Last Friday the decedent, in company with his cousin, Richard Cogdall of Pleasant Plains, who was visiting him, were returning home after having sold a team of horses. Grider, who had hitched his wagon to the back of a neighbor's, was ready to alight and unhitch in front of him home, when the horses in front lunged forward.

Decedent was thrown violently to the ground, lighting on his head. His cousin, Cogdall, was thrown on top of him and a large spring seat lit on Cogdall. Grider was carried into the house, where doctors declared that his neck was broken, that they held no hope of his recovery, so removal to the hospital was useless. Congdall suffered four broken ribs.

Two days ago decedent appeared to improve. He settled all business matters and conversed easily with relatives. Wednesday night he changed for the worse and died early yesterday morning.

Decedent was born in Salisbury. He married Miss Ona Black of Pleasant Plains July 15, 1885.

After living twenty years in Lynn county, Kan., decedent moved his family to Divernon, where he has lived on a farm till the time of his death.

Three brothers, Charles and Samuel of Auburn, and Marshall of Pleasant Plains, and two sisters, Mrs. Henry Hodgen of Auburn, and Mrs. Nora Erickson of Kansas City.
