		Melvin injures hand in picker 1954 "Dick Melvin, 28, son of Mr. and Mrs. Burdette Melvin of near Good Hope, is in the St. Francis Hospital in Macomb with an injured left hand, the result of a corn picker accident Saturday evening...The accident occurred on the farm of his parents three miles west of the Good Hope junction. He reached his left hand back to pull a corn stalk & the shucking retarder and lost his balance when his foot slipped from the tractor clutch. His hand was caught by the gears. He was able to turn off the tractor motor but unable to free himself from the machinery. He remained conscious and called to Jerry Fisher, whom he saw coming across the field. Fisher took the shucker apart to free Dick's hand. He was removed to the hospital."
