(Sibley)– A tractor rollover Monday in Osceola county claimed the life of a rural Hartley man.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called around 11:15 am to the 6500 mile of 240th Street southwest of May City where they found the man pinned under the tractor in the north ditch.
The victim was identified as 77-year-old Kenneth Boernsen. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Sibley ambulance and Melvin and May City rescue crews assisted on the scene.
