Joel P. Schwartz, 57, an Amish farmer of near Centerville, Mich. was killed last week and his wife critically wounded by a 21-year-old youth who had been refused permission to date their 16-year-old daughter. The two were shot by Carlyle Alan Schragg who lives on an adjoining farm. The shooting reportedly occurred after the parents had rejected the would-be suitor because of religious differences.
