Tractor Accident Kills Farmer
Edward Kahl, 35, farmer of near Moville, was killed in a tractor accident about four miles north of Kingsley on highway 140 late Saturday afternoon. (Nov. 17, 1951)
He died instantly when the tractor he was driving apparently edged too far on the shoulder of the highway and tipped over, pinning him beneath, it was reported. The accident occurred about 5 p.m. when Kahl was en route from his own farm to that of his brother, Harry, in Henry Twp. near Remsen to help pick corn. He was pulling an empty corn wagon behind the tractor.
Frank Scholer, sheriff and Vets Luken, Coroner, investigated the accident.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at the Moeller Funeral home in Remsen and at 2 o'clock at the St. Paul's Evangelican Lutheran church. Rev. Paul Wuebben will be in charge of the services.
Survivors include the widow; a daughter, Peggy; his mother, Mrs. Margaret Kahl, Remsen; two brothers, Henry, near Remsen and Harry in the army, and three sisters, Mrs. Minnie Harvey, Mrs. Fred Behrens and Miss Hulda Kahl, all of Remsen.

Edward Kahl Killed In Tractor Accident
Young Driver Pinned Under Vehicle On Highway
Pinned under a tractor he was driving on Highway 140 about 11 miles south of Remsen Saturday afternoon, Edward Kahl, 32, of near Moville but formerly of Remsen, was found dead by two unidentified hunters from Sioux City.
No one witnessed the accident but the hunters arrived shortly thereafter and Kahl's brother Henry, following him with another tractor, was the third person on the scene.
Mr. Kahl, who farmed south of Moville, and his brother Henry of Remsen, were moving their corn picking equipment from Moville to the Kahl farm here.
Edward was pulling an empty wagon and his brother, who had helped pick corn on the Moville farm, was following with another tractor, pulling a corn picker. He was a half mile behind and did not see the accident.
Traces on the graveled road showed that the tractor's front wheel had hit a hard bump, which presumably took the steering wheel out of control. Coronor S.H. Luken thought the immediate cause of death was an abdominal injury from a rod which braces the steering rod.
The Sioux City men hurried to the nearby Walter McDermott farm and told of the accident. The McDermotts joined Henry Kahl at the scene.
Edward Kahl was born o a farm south of Remsen August 9, 1919, the son of the late Harry and Mrs. Kahl of Remsen, and on October 25, 1945, married Dondel [Bonidel] Nailor of Moville. They have farmed since.
