WELL KNOWN STARK CO., OHIO, FARMER DIES IN FALL AT SARASOTA, FLA.

Sarasota, Fla. — E. N. Beachy, whose home is at Plain City, Ohio, passed away at the hospital here on Wednesday, Oct. 29, as a result of injuries suffered in a fall at one of his cabins in the Pine Craft tourist center. The body was sent to Hartville for final services and burial.

The tragic accident occurred just about one week after Bro. Beachy and Mrs. Beachy had arrived here to spend the winter. He was ding some work on the porch roof of a cabin when he broke through, landing on his head. He suffered a fractured skull and other injuries.

Bro. Beachy was a well-known retired farmer of the Stark county, Ohio, area, and was one of the leaders in the development of the large winter colony of Mennonites known as Pine Craft.
