Two Lancaster County Young Men Killed

Ephrata, Pa. — Two young men, both of Lancaster County, were killed last week in separate accidents.

Leon High, 30, of rural Ephrata and father of four children, died at the Reading Hospital on Oct. 2 as the result of injuries received in a two-car crash the day before. Funeral services were conducted on Oct. 5 at the Blainsport Church with Rev. Raymond Charles and Rev. Wilmer Eby officiating.

Edwin G. Martin, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin W. Martin of rural Reinholds and a member of the Denver Mennonite Church, died at Ephrata Community Hospital on Sept. 30 of a crushed chest after having fallen 40 feet from a silo. He had been working on the silo when its walls collapsed hurling him to the ground below. Funeral services were held at the Myerstown Mennonite Church.
