FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOY KILLED WHEN TRACTOR OVERTURNS ON ROAD
Metamora, Ill. — Four-year-old Roger Lee Graber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Graber of Secor, died at Methodist hospital in Peoria the evening of Aug. 11, three and one-half hours after he was pinned under an overturned tractor. Funeral services were held at Chenoa.
The boy was riding on a tractor driven by his cousin, Carolyn Stoltzfus, 11, of Iowa, while their uncle Jacob Graber stood on the tractor platform. The girl attempted to make a U-turn in the road and the machine over turned. She suffered a fractured leg.
