— Funeral services were held at the Nazarene church here last Friday for Wiley Delano Huxman, 17-year-old Walton youth who was crushed to death in a hay baler while working at the Huxman farm Tuesday afternoon, June 30. Ray Kaufman and son Clayton, working in a field nearby, heard his cries and rushed to the scene. They dismantled part of the machine to remove the body, but the youth was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Bethel Deaconess hospital and apparently lived only a short time after the accident. Surviving are his father, Henry E. Huxman, and stepmother, Martha Fast Huxman; a brother Marvin of Washington, D. C., and two sisters, Mrs. Howard Schroeder of Hillsboro and Joan of Newton.
