Marion County Man Killed In Farming Accident

An 82-year-old man died after an apparent farming accident this week in east-central Kansas.

Marion County authorities say Eldon Andres was working on a tractor Tuesday near Peabody when it moved forward, knocked him to the ground and stopped on top of him.

Marion County authorities had received a report that Andres was missing. While on their way to the scene, deputies learned the man’s body had been found.
