Mishap Claims Farmer

Mishap Claims Farmer 

Folsom – A 69-year old Folsom man was killed Monday (April 18, 1983) in a freak accident involving his tractor, according to spokesmen for the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Department. 

Reports said that Howard Swift Allen was doing tractor work at his farm on Allison Cemetery Road at the time of the accident. 

Deputies said Allen was working with a blade on the back of his tractor, apparently pushing debris.  While working, they said, he either suffered a heart attack or was struck in the head by a branch.  He fell onto the rear wheel of the tractor, which kept turning for about two hours until he was found, deputies said. 

St. Tammany Parish Coroner Dr. Thomas Healy pronounced Allen dead at the scene of the mishap.  Dr. Healy said the body has been sent away for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. 

Allen was a retired employee of Prestressed Concrete Products Company, Inc.  He is survived by his wife, Norma H. Allen, his daughter, Mrs. Leslie Willie of Folsom, grandchildren Allen Wayne Willie of Folsom and Mrs. Melissa Patterson of Covington, great-grandchild George W. Patterson, III, brother Verlon Allen of Walnut Creek, California, and sisters Mrs. Pauline Watson of Pinson, Tennessee and Mrs. Minnie Tanner of Louisville, Kentucky. 

Services will be held at 2:00 PM Thursday, April 21, at the Red Bluff Baptist Church.

 (Burial was in Allison Cemetery near his home.)
