Harper, Kan. Youth Dies in Accident

Harper, Kan. — Funeral services for Joseph l. Mast, 19, fatally injured in a one-car accident near here Aug. 15, were conducted Saturday afternoon at the Pleasant Valley Mennonite Church, of which he was a member. Rev. James Detweiler, the pastor, officiated.

The young man and three companions were returning here from Danville, Kan. when Mast's car, being driven by his friend, 15-year-old Doug Henderson, skidded on loose gravel.

All four young people were thrown out. Henderson and Donna Oliver, 17, of Harper escaped with minor injuries. Henderson's cousin, 17-year-old Janet Guttman of Falls Church, Va., suffered a broken shoulder.

The Mast youth was a 1962 graduate of Harper High School. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Levi Mast, and a sister, Fanny, a nursing student at Grace Hospital, Hutchinson.
