Funeral services for Harvey D. Kinkade, 69, retired Porter Twp. farmer and member of the Midland County Board of Canvassers for many years, will be held Friday at 1:30 p.m. from the Whiting Chapel, Breckenridge. The Rev. Henry Schneider, pastor of the Porter Township Brethren in Christ Church, will officiate and burial will be in Ridgelawn cemetery, Breckenridge.
Mr. Kinkade suffered a heart attack while operating a tractor mower combination on a ditch bank at his farm shortly after noon Tuesday. Municipal Judge Henry Hart, acting coroner, ruled the death was caused by the heart seizure. Mr. Kinkade had been under a physician's care for some time for treatment of a heart condition.
According to sheriff's deputies, Mr. Kinkade was mowing along a bank and fearing the tractor would tip over, he attached a chain to a nearby tree to hold the tractor while he mowed around the bank. As he again started up the tractor, it is believed he suffered the heart attack. He fell back between the tractor and wheel, deputies said.
Born in Paulding County, Ohio, Mr. Kinkade came to Michigan as a boy. He had lived in Porter Twp. 51 years. Active in various farm organizations, Mr. Kinkade was a member of the county board of canvassers at the time of his death and he had served on the board many years, including being chairman at various times.
In addition to his wife Essie, he is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Walter Clark, Highland Park; Mrs. Emerson Clark, Lansing; Mrs. George Phillips, Detroit; and Mrs. Claude Eastman of Merrill.
Friends may call at the Whiting Funeral Home, Breckenridge.
