Spears reports: On March, 3 2021 at 2:22 p.m. the Vernon County 911 Dispatch Center received a call about a logging accident in the Township of Whitestown west of Ontario. Raymond Miller, age 37 of rural Cashton was felling a 60-foot Red Oak tree when it became caught in another tree on descent. The bottom of the tree kicked out towards Miller.
