Firefighter's Last Call

Sunday, July 31, 2016

Banner Graphic/ERIC BERNSEE Featuring at least a dozen pieces of fire equipment -- representing every department in Putnam Country as well as the Bellmore unit from Parke County -- a funeral process for Madison Township volunteer firefighter Joseph Biggs leaves Hopkins-Rector Funeral Home in Greencastle Sunday afternoon. On its way to Little Walnut Cemetery, the procession stretches out along West Walnut Street Road as the flag-draped casket containing the body of Biggs rides along atop a Madison Township truck. Biggs, 29, was fatally injured in a Wednesday afternoon accident on the U.S. 36 bridge over Raccoon Lake. He succumbed to his injuries Thursday at an Indianapolis hospital.

So sad. My sympathy to all his family and friends.
