Steinbach, Manitoba. — Funeral services were held at the Spencer Bergthaler Church on Aug. 20 for Peter Driedger, 43, who was crushed to death on Steinbach's Main Street when a tractor fell into the deep trench where he was working on the new water and sewerage system here.

The tractor driver, who had been working in the ditch with Mr. Driedger a short time before, was unhurt but was taken to the hospital for treatment of shock.

Survivors include his wife, the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Driedger, brothers and sisters.
