His clothing caught in the machinery of a feed grinder at the Raven-Honey Dew Feed Mills, East Omaha, Ames Pruitt, 32, Twenty Fourth Street near Seventh Avenue was dragged upwards to a power shaft beneath the ceiling and mangled to death late Saturday.

Less than ten minutes before his broken body was carried to death, Pruitt had mentioned to two fellow workmen at the plant that he "felt something terrible was going to happen."

These men, Ted Foutch and Thomas Turner, found the mangled body wedged against the power shaft when they investigated to find what had stopped the machinery. Engaged as a machinery inspector at the feed mills, Pruitt was alone in the power room when he met his death. He is believed to have been inspecting the machinery when his clothing was caught in the cogs of an elevating plant.

Pruitt was known in this city as an evangelist and lay minister. He is survived by a widow and one child, Veryl, 9 years old.

The body was removed to the Hoffman Mortuary in Omaha pending possible arrangements for removal to Council Bluffs Sunday.

Funeral services for Amos Samuel Pruitt, 32, 2418 Seventh Avenue, who was killed late Saturday when his clothing caught in the machinery at the Raven-Honey Dew Feed Mills, East Omaha, will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Pentecost Church, Sixteenth Street and Avenue B. Burial will be at Crescent.

Mr. Pruitt is survived by his widow, Mabel Pruitt; his daughter, Vearl, at home; three brothers, George, Ray and Mart Pruitt, all of Council Bluffs; three sisters, Mrs. Pearl Fetters, Mrs. Flo McIntosh and Miss Eunice Pruitt, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mart Pruitt, all living in Council Bluffs.
