MEETS WITH TRAGIC DEATH
Hiram Blakeman, Sustains Injuries Which Result in Death Last Thursday at Piketon.
Hiram Blakeman 65, of Piketon, sustained injuries, which resulted in his death last Thursday morning about 11:00 o'clock, when the ditch in which he was working at Piketon caved in on him. His nephew, James Blakeman, working on top of the ditch, saw the bank start to cave and cried out a warning. Blakeman raised his head at the alarm, just in time to catch the full force of several tons of moving earth squarely on his head. He was buried from sight. A rescue party worked feverishly to extricate Blakeman and succeeded in uncovering the body within ten minutes. The man was alive and breathing at the time, but despite frantic efforts on the part of rescuers and Dr. I. P. Seller and Dr. C. J. Penn, died ten minutes afterward. The ditch in which the unfortunate man was working, was part of the new drainage system recently authorized by the Piketon village council, and Blakeman was employed by the village at the time. His nephew, James, also employed on the job, was stretching a grade line on top of the bank when the accident occurred. At the point where the cave-in occurred, the ditch was about eight feet deep. Blakeman's nephew headed the rescue gang, composed of Clyde Baker, Cleve Blakeman, Edward Allen, Theo. Taylor and Alfred Newton.
The dead man is survived by his wife, one son, Herman of Chillicothe; two daughters, Mrs. Raymond Lee and Mrs. John Farmer of Piketon.
Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ in Piketon, Sunday
afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, and burial made at the Mound cemetery. Rev. J. W. Sylvester, pastor of the church, officiated.
