Hillsboro, Kan. -- Funeral services were held at the Ebenfeld M. B. Church near here June 6 for Clifford Eitzen, 36-year-old farmer who was killed June 1 when his tractor overturned and pinned him underneath.
He is survived by his wife Viola; four children, Clifford Jr. 8, David 5, Marjorie 4, and Carolyn 15 months; his parents Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Eitzen; and two sisters, Mrs. Jona Balzer and Edith of the home.
