Nobody knows just how the accident happened, as the only person near at hand was his brother Joseph, who found him dead. Silo filling had been in progress at the farm of the young man's parents Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kortenhof, half a mile from Darboy villnge. A gasoline engine was in use and the work had been suspended at 5 o'clock so the family could assemble for supper. Benjamin was still at the engine when Joseph Kortenhof started for the house. As the latter reached the steps he turned to see if his brother was coming and saw him prostrate beside the machine. He returned and saw the mutilated body. An examination revealed that the youth's clothing had become, tangled in the belt and that he appeared to have been carried around with the flywheel. Part of the organs of his stomach was torn out and many bones were broken. - The boy is survived by his parents: four brothers, John, Joseph and Stephen, Darboy: Henry, Milwaukee: three sisters.
