Mr. Kauffman, associated with his father in the A. L. Kauffman and Sons fruit farm near Bird-in-Hand, apparently was run over by the wheel of a large tank sprayer. It is believed he started up the tractor attacked to the sprayer, not knowing it was in gear. He was caught between the tank and a nearby building.
The oldest son of the Kauffman family graduates this year from Lancaster Mennonite School, while the youngest child is two years of age. Surviving in addition to the children and his wife, the former Elsie Glick, are the parents and brothers and sisters.
