BREAKS HIS NECK: Benjamin Clark Alvine, ex-soldier and former resident of Burlington, was killed in Gladstone last Friday afternoon when his clothes were caught in some cog wheels in the machinery at the Lone Tree elevator where he worked and his neck was broken before his body clogged the machinery. When the machinery stopped, Arnold Ditto, nine year old lad, was sent to the engine room to see what the trouble was. He discovered Alvine's body with the clothes almost torn off, jammed against the cogs and his neck had been broken. The lad spread the alarm.
Alvine came to Burlington after being discharged from the army and worked at the West Burlington shops until the strike when he moved to the Ditto home in Gladstone to reside. He married Marcelie Guerbinot while in France and his wife and baby survive him as well his mother who at present is a patient in the St. Francis Hospital. Funeral services were held from the U.P. Church with interment in the Oquawka Cemetery. Alvine married in France during his oversea service and a little daughter, Suzanne, was born following his return to America with his war bride
