text of obituary:
Dayton, Va.— A mission of generosity ended in tragedy at the Willis Wenger farm near here Aug. 8, when a truck two Amish men were working under suddenly rolled forward.
Dead was Edward O. Reinford of Newville, Pa., who had brought a load of hay for cattle deprived by the Virginia drought. Under care at University Hospital with extensive injuries was Willis Wenger, owner of the property.
The two were working to correct a drive shaft problem caused earlier due to the floor of the barn suddenly giving way under the weight of the load.
