NINE YEAR OLD BOY ELECTROCUTED BY RADIO AERIAL

Berne, Ind. — An unusual accident at the Lawrence Eicher farm near here resulted in the death of his nephew, Robert Lee Moser, 9, son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Moser of Bluffton, Ohio.

The boy, who had been visting here for several weeks, came in contact with a dangling radio aerial while playing hide and seek with his cousins and died instantly of electric shock. it is believed a defect in the radio caused the aerial to be charged with current.

Funeral services were held at the First Mennonite church here July 1, and at the Ebenezer church near Bluffton the following day.
