LANCASTER CO. FARMER KILLED, TWO INJURED WHEN HORSE RUNS AWAY

Lancaster, Pa. — A runaway a short distance north of New Holland Dec. 4 proved fatal to Moses Huyard, 58, and resulted in critical Injuries to his daughter Mary, 29, and four-year-old granddaughter, Emma Esh, daughter of Amos Esh.

The three were returning from a parochial school near Mechanicsburg where the daughter teaches when the horse bolted, throwing their light wagon against a pole. The horse had been purchased only recently, and before the trip Bro Huyard’s wife had urged him not to drive it.

Besides his wife, he is survived by eight children.
