RANDOLPH - Two young Randolph farmers suffered crippling accidents the past week as each lost his right hand when it was drawn into a cornpicker mechanism while attempting to remove corn husks from the machine without turning off the power.
They are Melvin Delozier, farmer living northwest of here, who sustained his injury on Wednesday afternoon, November 1 while he was using a cornpicker at the farm of his father, Reuben Delozier, who lives nearby.
By tremendous effort, Mr. Delozier, who was in the field alone at the time of the accident, his father having taken a load of corn to the farmyard, was able to drag himself free before it could be drawn farther into the mechanism. He drove the tractor home and after being attended by a Wausa physician was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes hospital in Norfolk. His fingers and most of his thumb were severed in the accident and on Monday he underwent an operation for amputation of his hand at the wrist. He suffered from shock for several days after the accident.
Mr. Munter’s injury was sustained on Saturday afternoon while he was using a cornpicker at the place he farms northeast of here.
His thumb on the right hand was first drawn into the mechanism and he tried to free it, but could not and the rest of his hand was drawn in. By exerting all possible force, he kept his hand from being drawn in farther as he cried for help.
It was about three-quarters of an hour before his cries were heard by Mrs. Munter who was in the house and had the radio turned on, she ran to the field and turned off the engine of the picker but could not free his hand. She drove to the nearby Keith May farm, and Bernard Anduser and Mr. May came at once to the Munter place and by taking the machine apart freed Mr. Munter, who was then taken to the Benthack hospital at Wayne. The doctors held out some hopes that the palm of his hand could be saved.
