FOUND DEAD IN CORN FIELD

Hartville, Ohio. — Abraham Hochstetler, 78, a respected member of the local Amish community, died here Sept. 13, being found dead in his neighbor's field where he was cutting corn.

Death evidently resulted from heart attack, as Grandfather Hochstetled [sic Hochstetler] still had the corn knife in his hand and one arm full of corn which he just finished cutting.

Mr. Hochstetler is survived by his wife and a large family of children.
