BOY, 5, KILLED BY ANVIL

Ethridge, Tenn. — Funeral services were held in the Amish community here for little Dennie Hostetler, five-year-old son of Joe J. Hostetlers who was fatally injured in an unusual farm mishap.

The boy had gone into the farm shop with his father and somehow toppled a heavy blacksmith's anvil from its stand, the anvil falling on him. At first he was not believed seriously hurt, but he died in the hospital early the next morning of internal injuries.
