12-YEAR-OLD LANCASTER COUNTY BOY STRANGLED IN FARM ACCIDENT

Ephrata, Pa. — A freak accident at the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan M. Reiff of Route 4, Lititz, claimed the life of their 12-year-old son, Ivan Ray Reiff.

The youth had climbed to the top of the silo to free a silo unloading mechanism and while returning to the ground his shirt became entangled in the revolving shaft. He died instantly of strangulation. Two neighbors climbed the 45-foot silo to bring the youngster to the ground.

Funeral services were held Nov. 25 at the Hinkletown Mennonite Church where the boy attended Sunday school.
